Checkbox script

[wayne durden]

Hi Charles,

There is a little disconnect because you have two "stores" for your data,
your tConcat variable and your field.  When you uncheck you are removing the
data from the field and then your tConcat global and your field are out of
congruence.  There are several workarounds but the easiest one may be that
after removing data from the field, simply set your global tConcat to the
contents of the field.  Alternatively on the check portion you could filter
the value out of the global and then add it to keep from getting duplicates
therein...
