Hello,
I setup a custom checkbox field in Vendor maintenance and it is defaulting to greyed out and checked.
How do I set the default to active and unchecked?

Great! Thanks for all your help everyone!
Hello,
I deleted all the customizations in the screen. I started over and set USER6 as the checkbox. I then set default=0 and FalseText=0 TrueText =1. When you first enter the Vendor Maintenance screen, the checkbox is blank. When you select an existing vendor, it is greyed out and checked. When I select New, I get the blank checkbox again. There are no data values in the table for the existing vendors, it just doesn't appear as I would expect with a blank box. Should I set all vendors USER6 to a 0 as a workaround? That seems to work
update Vendor set User6 = '0'
Bring up your screen in customization mode again, select the field in question and then open the properties window. Check what values you have for FalseText and TrueText. If they are set to N and Y, change them to 0 and 1 and see if that corrects the issue.
The greyed out checkmark is displayed with a checkbox field does not have either the FalseText or the TrueText value as defined in its property.
hello,
We did put the 0 in the default property and it did not change the default. It is still greyed out and checked.
You are correct about that; used to be able to use float fields in prior versions (I think), but now are limited to character and integer...
Since there are no User integer fields, you'll have to set the Default property to 0 (zero) in Customization Manager so that the field starts with a 0 (unchecked) value. Checking the box should set the value to 1.
Hello,
I used User1 for the checkbox. Only user1 and user2 are available when adding a checkbox data bound object in Insert Object Wizard in Customize mode. I can select user3 or user4 when selecting a textbox.
What field did you use? If it is a user field, it should be one of the float fields (User3 or User4) that are defaulted to zero (unchecked) when a new record is inserted. When you check the box, it should change the field value to 1.
If the field is greyed out, I am assuming you used a field that is not a float type.
