Hi, Now I have a situation where I have to use a check box. The db table column has a Boolean data type i.e. True or False 

     Column      |         Type          |                           M
+odifiers                         
----------------+--------------------+--------------------------------
+------

 Discontinued    | boolean               | default false


select distinct("Discontinued") from "Products";
 Discontinued 
--------------
 f
 t
(2 rows)

Will appreciate if you monks help me implement it in my ADD and EDIT forms : 

my @options = ("True", "False");

<form action="" method="post">

Discontinued :<input type="checkbox" name="discontinued" value=$option
+s><br>

</form>

If its checked it should send a TRUE value to the database else False. Many thanks in advance Rgds Terry Please Note : I will post it to PerlGuru as well.
