Re: Loss of boolean data in secondary data

First Q, Yes. Secondary data, orginated from a excel spreadsheet. Created table and exported it to the sharepoint list location. That process was seamless. I looked at the sharepoint data and it was correct. The export placed yes or no in the respective check box locations. I also have an option button. The option data and the text import fine. I have a simple form, connect to secondary data, receive list and display it in a repeating table. One button to query the data connection. The boolean data is displayed in a check box...... ok, as you so graciously do, you spun the thinking cap the other way. Yes it populates as textbox... @#$%^&*(*&^%$$%!

Thankyou Hilary!.

Hi:

I'm easily confused, so let me ask a half dozen questions. Are you saying a secondary data source isn't returning data when the data type is boolean? What's the data source? SharePoint? How are you displaying the data? If it is a control in a repeating table, is the control a text box? An expression box?

Loss of boolean data in secondary data

I'm at a loss here. I have a secondary data that populates a repeating table just fine. One exception the boolean, yes/no column data is not showing up in the data. I get option data and text data. Independant of true, yes, 1 ot false, no, 0?

Help?
