Barry,
Try it the way Adrian suggested - much cleaner - and only one line of code:
<cfinput type="checkbox" name="all" checked="#isDefined('form.all')#">
Also, check this - do you have a <cfparam name="form.all" default=""> line
at the top of your code? If so, that changes how you need to code the
cfinput line.

Hi Dave.
I added your code but it still does not save the visitors checkbox (All 50
States)
<cfif isDefined("form.all")>
<cfinput type="checkbox" name="all" checked="yes">All 50 States
<cfelse>
<cfinput type="checkbox" name="all">All 50 States
</cfif>
Here is the link. Try typing the wrong captcha text and uncheck "All 50
States".

Thanks,
