Are updates to the database immediately available in the control? If that is what you want, I've only done that with Access which is definitely a Bad Idea. Otherwise I have no problem with what you describe in a form based submission. This checkbox maps to a flag, that dropdown maps to an internal field. This is a natural design mapping. It is simple and works well.

Consider what goes on in most such setups. - (mmoffitt) - (12) - May 11, 2004, 11:46:05 PM EDT

Why more? - (admin) - (2) - May 12, 2004, 10:32:32 AM EDT

Duplication of information - (ben_tilly) - (1) - May 12, 2004, 10:43:55 AM EDT

Must depend on what you're doing. - (admin) - May 12, 2004, 11:06:48 AM EDT

I can't add much to what Scott said. - (mmoffitt) - (5) - May 12, 2004, 10:27:12 AM EDT

Then see my response to Scott - (ben_tilly) - (4) - May 12, 2004, 10:34:04 AM EDT

I did. And how? - (mmoffitt) - (3) - May 12, 2004, 10:38:38 AM EDT

Problem is rollback - (drewk) - (1) - May 12, 2004, 01:10:54 PM EDT

That's only an argument for a wrapper - (ben_tilly) - May 12, 2004, 01:44:31 PM EDT

Er, what headaches? - (admin) - (3) - May 12, 2004, 09:11:56 AM EDT

Depends how you're set up - (ben_tilly) - (2) - May 12, 2004, 10:22:56 AM EDT

More moving parts - (ben_tilly) - May 12, 2004, 11:39:48 AM EDT

always thought that all forms should be a view of the table - (boxley) - May 11, 2004, 05:55:46 PM EDT

Depends on the kind of data - (ChrisR) - (2) - May 11, 2004, 06:12:07 PM EDT

Mostly agree - (ben_tilly) - (1) - May 11, 2004, 07:05:09 PM EDT

Love 'impedance mismatch' ! - (Ashton) - May 12, 2004, 12:54:20 AM EDT

You didn't specify stateful or stateless system - (drewk) - (2) - May 11, 2004, 06:42:23 PM EDT

Stateful. - (admin) - (1) - May 12, 2004, 09:35:34 AM EDT

Then the issue is multi-column constraints - (drewk) - May 12, 2004, 09:45:45 AM EDT
