Thank you for the response=2E=0D=0A=0D=0AI had looked at the example, but i=
t really appears to only push the=0D=0Acheckbox results to the action=2E  I=
 am not sure that it would repopulate=0D=0Athe checkbox with the values=2E=
=0D=0A=0D=0AI do not believe that checkbox list is going to work for me as =
it does=0D=0Anot give me control on where to put the checkboxes=2E  I need =
one in each=0D=0Arow=2E=0D=0A=0D=0AIt appears that my understanding of how =
the checkbox works is not=0D=0Acorrect=2E=0D=0A=0D=0AI am expecting that th=
e checkbox control will call the=0D=0AgetSelectedContracts() method and see=
 if any of these values in the=0D=0Aarray it returns matches the value spec=
ified in the fieldValue attribute=0D=0Aspecified in the checkbox tag=2E  If=
 there is a match then check the box,=0D=0Aif not don't check it=2E  Howeve=
r, all of my checkboxes are always being=0D=0Aselected no matter what=2E=0D=
=0A=0D=0AI am also expecting that when submitting the form,=0D=0AsetSelecte=
dContracts() will be called with an array of the values that=0D=0Awere sele=
cted=2E  This does appear to be working with one caveat=2E If=0D=0Anothing =
is selected then I get the error: Invalid field value for field=0D=0A"selec=
tedContracts"=2E=0D=0A=0D=0AThis obviously does not work the way I thought =
and I was hoping someone=0D=0Acould maybe explain how it does work as I am =
really struggling on=0D=0Againing an understanding of this tag and its usag=
e=2E=0D=0A=0D=0AThanks in advance,=0D=0AKen=0D=0A=0D=0A-----Original Messag=
