Checkbox Problems

[awharris]

I have created a Visual Basic application and am using check(tick) boxes. The fields all link into an Access Database, but when I tick one of the boxes it remains ticked and doesn't update the database.

I have got check boxes set up in the database.

Any help would be appreciated.

How did you link the checkbox to the database? Did you use the checked property?

Thanks for replying.

I used the DataBindings - Tag and set it to the Database. That is all I have done.

I must have done something wrong.

Any advice would be appreciated.

Post what you have done then and we'll have a look-see.

I have attached an image from the Checkbox Properties menu

Try switching what you have under 'Tag' to 'Checked'.

Thanks for your consistent help.

I have got the tick boxes working and they now correctly display the information drawn from the database.

The main problem now is that when I edit using the VB application none of the fields, whether checkboxes or textboxes update. I used 'Connect to Database' but it looks as if I must have set it to read-only.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks again.

Whats 'Connect to database'? Are you talking about the server explorer? It kind of sounds like you used the IDE wizard to setup a dataset. I don't think it writes code to update it for you. Here is a site with a ton of tutorials you might find them helpful.

That's it. I used Server Explorer. I was following the info in the Microsoft Visual Basic .Net Step by Step by Michael Halvorsen.
