morpheus.100 Posted February 2, 2004 Share Posted February 2, 2004 If using checkboxes why try to register info into a field "varchar". Using a checkbox wont allow you to enter anything of variable charachter, only a value to asscertain whether or not it is checked. Go to SQLfreaks site using the links and read up on some tutorials about databases. I could sit here and type all day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
morpheus.100 Posted February 26, 2004 Share Posted February 26, 2004 Worked it out yet? Set field to enum and use a default ('0','1') Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
