Hi Chuck,
I had this same problem a week ago. Here is an extracted example from my add
and update pages. Before you do anything make sure that the field on your
layout (I'm assuming you're using FileMaker) is assigned to a value list.

On your ADD page the text is...
<input type="checkbox" name="charter_type" value="Passenger
Service">Passenger Service<br>
<input type="checkbox" name="charter_type" value="Cargo">Cargo<br>
<input type="checkbox" name="charter_type" value="Medical">Medical

******where charter_type is the field name in my database

On the UPDATE page the text is...
[value_list:'charter_type']
<input type="checkbox" name="charter_type" value="[valuelistitem]" [checked]>
[ValueListItem] <br>
[/value_list] <input type="hidden" name="charter_type" value="">

******I also used charter_type for the name of my Value List in FileMaker

Notice that in the UPDATE the list is automatically generated with the
checkboxes [checked]

I hope this helps.
