Re: ASP/Html checkbox convert to true/false for MS Access backend

This is a newsgroup for asp.NET , not "classic" asp.

However, you did remind me how VERY THANKFUL I am for Asp.Net.

..........

You'll find better luck in another newsgroup.

Maybe this one:
microsoft.publi c.inetserver.as p.general

>I have a microsoft access front end and backend database for multi-

webserver. I've created a few ASP pages that pull customer lists down
so far and it works great. I am trying to edit some of that data and
noticed that a checkbox on the webpage uses ON/OFF instead of True/
False like MS Access uses. My problem is trying to get the checkbox
to
be checked if the data in the field called "ServiceCallBac k" is
pulled
and shown to be True. If False then it would uncheck the box.

Re: ASP/Html checkbox convert to true/false for MS Access backend

Here is code I used in an ASP project. I built the html completely in code,
but the key part seems to be using the HTML "checked" setting for a check
box. In Access a boolean attribute has a value of 0 for False, Off, No, etc.
and -1 for True, On, Yes. The names are just part of the display format, not
the real data.

strHTML = strHTML & "<tr>" & vbcrlf & _
"<td>Invite d Paper?</td>" & vbCrLf & _
"<td><INPUT type=checkbox name=chkInvited "
if fInvited then
strHTML = strHTML & "checked" & vbcrlf
end if
