Display/Update html form check boxes...

[ceeleelewis]

I have a interesting (an important question that will have an impact on my form design)question I'd like to pose... Is there a way for me to display/update checkboxes in a form using ADO even if I have a value in the checkbox field?
From what I understand so far. Any Request.Form collection will show no value (.. in my case "False&quot that is produced from the form checkbox(es).


breif example:

form.asp........
'===========================================
'The Following Code Just References fields of the recordset
'===========================================
<% If Not RScm_checklstitem.EOF then
xDNS = RScm_checklstitem(&quot;DNS&quot
xPASSWORD = RScm_checklstitem(&quot;pssWrd&quot
xDISK_SPACE = RScm_checklstitem(&quot;chDksp&quot
xSHARED_MEMORY = RScm_checklstitem(&quot;shMem_pre&quot
xDETERMINE_APPLICATIONS = RScm_checklstitem(&quot;dtAppsdb&quot
xSEND_MONITORING_TEMPLATE = RScm_checklstitem(&quot;sndMrt&quot
end if
%>
'===============================================
'end references
'===============================================
<table width=&quot;96%&quot; height=&quot;354&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; cellpadding=&quot;0&quot;>
<tr>
<td width=&quot;266&quot; height=&quot;69&quot; align=&quot;right&quot; nowrap bgcolor=&quot;#E6E6E6&quot;><font size=&quot;2&quot; face=&quot;Arial&quot;>Is
system in DNS : </font></td>
<td width=&quot;67&quot;> <table border=&quot;1&quot; width=&quot;11%&quot; cellspacing=&quot;0&quot; bgcolor=&quot;#FFFFFF&quot; bordercolorlight=&quot;#cccccc&quot; bordercolordark=&quot;#cccccc&quot;>
<tr>
<td width=&quot;100%&quot; ><input type=&quot;checkbox&quot; onClick=&quot;itemCheck(this.form.PreInstall)&quot; name=&quot;DNS&quot; value=&quot;<%=xDNS%>&quot;/></td>
</tr>
</table></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td width=&quot;266&quot; height=&quot;54&quot; align=&quot;right&quot; nowrap bgcolor=&quot;#E6E6E6&quot;><font size=&quot;2&quot; face=&quot;Arial&quot;>Obtain/verify
passwords: </font></td>
<td> <table border=&quot;1&quot; width=&quot;10%&quot; cellspacing=&quot;0&quot; bgcolor=&quot;#FFFFFF&quot; bordercolorlight=&quot;#cccccc&quot; bordercolordark=&quot;#cccccc&quot;>
<tr>
<td width=&quot;100%&quot; ><input type=&quot;checkbox&quot; onClick=&quot;itemCheck(this.form.PreInstall)&quot; name=&quot;pssWrd&quot; value=&quot;<%=xPASSWORD%>&quot;/></td>
</tr>
</table></td>
</tr>
then I have my processing page.........

'The asp page processes info from form than updates db
