Yeah.. I got a little over-excited!

Still got these to worry about.

I tried converting the boolean values of the variables I'm using to 
strings, so that instead of the SQL looking like:

   INSERT INTO tblStudents
    (name, username, password, permissions, website, displayUser)
   VALUES ('jon','dfg','gdfd','20-Jan-05','student','0','1');

it looks like:

   INSERT INTO tblStudents
    (name, username, password, permissions, website, displayUser)
   VALUES ('jon','dfg','gdfd','student','False','True');

This didn't work either. The format setting in Access is set to 
True/False, not Yes/No or On/Off.


Any suggestions?. it seems that PHP must ALWAYS contain the single 
quotes with each value to obtain correct syntax.

Have you echo'ed the results out to the screen? you could write a
function to handle checkboxes...

function CheckBoxToValue($checkBox){
		if($checkBox == "on"){
			return True;
		}else{
			return False;	
		}	
	}
This returns boolean values, not strings
