[AccessD] checkboxes aren't functioning

IIRC it shows tick if -1 and no tick (ie False) if anything else, or
vice-versa.  I don't think it'd cause this, though like you I haven't
tested.

And Susan's right. If the value is Null it shows a grey tick box but allows
you to tick/untick.

However what if it is bound to a non-boolean field. For example it is bound
to an integer, the integer can contain 0 and -1 (and null) so it looks like
it works just fine. But what happens if the field gets set to something
other than null, 0 or -1?

Note I have never tested this, just throwing it out....

Checkboxes have a tri-state, on, off, and Null. You might want to check that
-- perhaps someone accidentally changed it?

Although, if I'm not mistaken, even if the control is Null, you should still
be able to change it.

how is it possible that suddenly on a form in almost al records certain
checkboxes are working but in some records they don't function (are greyed
out and can't make them "true" or "not true"). Nothing strange happened
before.
