Thanks for the reply Trevor.

When I tried to follow my interpretation of "The code should be the  
same except that you just store the hilite of the checkbox when the  
user clicks on it." I received an error.

The following gave me the error:  -- button "Col 3 Behavior":  
execution error at line n/a (Object: object does not have this property)

  on mouseUp
    set the U_hilite of me to the hilite of me
    setDataOfIndex the dgIndex of me, the dgColumn of me,   the  
U_hilite of me
end mouseUp

So,  tried a few other stabs in the dark, such as...

on FillInData pData
    -- This message is sent when the Data Grid needs to populate
    -- this template with the column data. pData is the value to be  
displayed.
    -- Example:
    --set the text of field 1 of me to pData
    if the hilite of me is "true" then set the uHilite of me to "TRUE"
    if the hilite of me is "false" then set the uHilite of me to "FALSE"
end FillInData

on mouseUp
    setDataOfIndex the dgIndex of me, the dgColumn of me,  the uHilite  
of me
end mouseUp

I'm surely missing something simple as the above seems to get me  
nowhere.
