[Calle Hedberg <calle.hedberg@xxxxxxxxx>]

Abyot,

Weird - because we are still getting the erroneous yes/no display.

OK - we decided this morning to replace the standard form for this data set
with a custom form. If the problem persist, I will do a dump of the
database (it is small, only some sample test data) and email to you so that
you can install on your local machine and identify the root cause of this.
If the problem disappear, well then it's resolved :-)

Regards
Calle
