-1 = Yes/on/true
0 = No/off/false

So you're saying if the checkbox IS checked, set the yes/no field to no?
That might be what you're intending, which is fine.. but I thought i'd point it out anyway.

[CODE=ASP]
if Request.Form("c urrent") = "on" then
current = 0
else
current = -1
end if
[/CODE]

You have to request the information from the form, you were checking a variable name called "current" for the value of "on" - which probably wasn't set as on anywhere in your code.
