After I found that option to clear the data (when I bothered to actually try a recycle) and ran it and it ran great. Saved us a ton of time. I verified with a quick RB report filtered on the field and no records were found.
One quirky thing I am struggling with at the moment. I recycled another checkbox (CheckBox5) on Part Master and it seemed to go OK. I added it back onto the VB form and every time I check the box and OK the form then go back in to it the box mysteriously becomes unchecked. I looked for a form "On Entry/Exit" routine incase the old usage had one but there was none. Can't figure out why it "self unchecks" when the VB form is "OK'd". The other four check boxes work fine.

Todd,
We've done this a few times. It will not clear the data in the database
(we have Progress) unless you click the "Clear Data" checkbox.

Subject: [Vantage] [6.1] Easy VB form Field Recycling Question
[Version 6.1]
We have an obsolete checkbox on the Part master VB Form. If I delete it
off the form and recycle it will it clear the records that are checked?
560 parts have the field set to true so it would be a fair task to
manually clear them all. I've never recycled a form field before and the
Help on it is not really clear about the affect on data.
Thanks,
