Re: Automatically Check a Checkbox

Thanks for the correction. However, I have tried this in several
places to no success. I just have some disconnect in how the
processing or logic flow works. Where do I need to place this nice
simple line of code?

I have put it in the Add function in several places, the only place
that did anything was when I made it the first line of code. Ha, at
least something happened. (I created a blank record with active set to
1.) Putting the line before the Create() or the Set() did nothing. I
even tried putting the line of code in the add.ctp. That seemed like
the wrong place to put it anyway but no check in the check box.

Should be clear that I am a beginner. I have tried searching the docs
and think my problem is terminology. Any links in the docs to set me
straight would be very welcome too. Thanks
