[AccessD] Creating default false in yes/no field

I'll probably use the default on the control - it'll be easier since I can
define one checkbox and clone it x times.

Are you talking about the field or the checkbox control?  I customarily set
the field to a zero default, but the control handles a triple-state answer
so you have to set its default as well.  I can't recall if I've ever tried
to set the control default using a normal form with a checkbox control, but
it's worth a try.
