I would like to represent >this field as a checkbox or a radial button. Unless there's something in the madter/detail part of it that I'm missing, this is what I suggest: Hide the superfield for the boolean table column. Add a checkbox. Add to your retrieval code a few lines to set the checkbox based on the value of the hidden superfield. Write a checkbox activate handler that setText()'s the hidden field based on the new checkbox. You have to to the overhead of two objects for one little bool but that's life with NewEar.
