Testing a Boolean value

I have a couple Yes/No fields in my Q&A that have translated to text boxes with Boolean values.  I'd like to change these to check boxes.  What should I have my programming look for when I test the field?

Infinity,
In the layout element adder, you can add a checkbox element that is bound to your existing boolean field. There is no programming required to do this, as the checkbox will pick up the existing value.

Thanks Ben, I've got that far.  But my Q&A programming performs a test on the value (to fire off other calculations) like this:
Code
Select All
If TIME_DEPENDENT = "YES"
Then ...

But now all the yes's will be changed to check marks, so I can't test for that value any more.  I tried cutting and pasting a check mark from MS Word but it came out as Ö.   Undecided

Hello Scott,

Any of the following will work to check the value of a check box...
Code
Select All
If CheckBox = YES Then ...

Code
Select All
If CheckBox = TRUE Then ...

Code
Select All
If CheckBox = 1 Then ...
