Searching using checkboxes

I can't figure out how to perform a search for a 'null' (blank) check box. (Not checked, nor unchecked.)

Any tips?

Thanks,
Steve

Hello Steve,

I am sure there are other ways but the first way that pops into my mind is the following.
Retrieve all Records
Hit F7
Check the check box
Click Remove From Current Results on the Menu Tree
Hit F7
Uncheck the check box so it is unchecked. Not Blank but unchecked.
Click Remove From Current Results on the Menu Tree

That should leave you with just those records that are not checked or unchecked.

Wow, Thanks Ray.

Your post just taught me two interesting things about Sesame that I never know.

And it worked great.

Thanks again.

Steve

ps. I was think it would be something like:

{mycheckbox <0}

but that didn't work for me.
