It sounds like you want to use one field for multiple checkboxes. *If this
is correct then what you need is an Options Group. *An Options Group has a

Based on which is selected is the number stored in the field. *The buttons
are a part of the group and are in a Frame.
If this is what you want then use the toolbox to create an Options Group and
bind to your field.

A long integer field is bounded by an associated check box. *Let's say
the integer field is named ID and the checkbox is named CB1.

Currently, when CB is checked, the value of -1 is assigned to ID.

I'm trying to use this current (Default?) value of -1 in an equation
to come up with the actual ID number I want corresponding with CB1
(let's say it should be 7). *So the default + 8 would get the right
ID. *However, I am missing something... the Expression Builder is not

The plan is when I add a new checkbox, CB2, I'd be able to build the
expression to correspond with the right ID for the associated
checkboxes.
