Boolean (ie. Check Box) in VB Forms

Mark,
After doing some 'fiddling', I believe that the radio set returns a character in to the field table.character01, which you can specify for each Item in the Radio Button List. You do it like this:

Item 1,xx
Item 2,2
Item 3,how are you doing?

The above code in the Radio Set Attributes would return "xx" if the first button was clicked, "2" if the second, and "how are you doing?" if the third. Then you can use the character01 field in reports, progress routines, etc.

Can a radio set return a Boolean value?

Yes, you can add a Boolean checkbox, it's called a 'toggle-box'. It's on
the palette in VB Forms. It's 'checkbox01' (etc.) in the field list.

Is there a way to put a check box that would indicate a Boolean Yes/No on a VB Form, that could then be tapped into in a Crystal or RB report?
I only see the types: String, Date, Number in the field options.

If so, could someone please explain the process?

Troy,
You can add a toggle-box_x to your VB form. Take note of the field
name and
use it as a criteria. In other words If CheckBox03 = yes,
then...<whatever>.
I use it to identify a certain customer's parts that I have to do a
quarterly report
on. Let me know if you need any more info.
Regards,
Thanks everyone. I somehow missed the CheckBox01 fields in the list. I think I've got it worked out.

When you add a radio_set, it uses a character field. For me, I am always
running out of character fields in VB forms, so I would not use the toggle
box if a simple Boolean was required. Also, although you could probably
make this work as a Boolean, since it is a character field, it would take
some maneuvering in your report writer.
