value of checked box!?

Hi,

I've got the following problem:

I'm retrieving data from an SQL Server database (the data itslef was
entered by an ASP form). And on an 'edit form' I want to display a
checked box in the state corresponding to the value saved in the DB. But
somehow that doesn't work!?

SQL tells me the value is 1.
My ASP page tells me it's 'True'??

So I tried it like this:
rsDemande.Fields.Item("lien").Value = 1 Then Response.Write("
checked='checked'") : Response.Write("")%>>

and like this:

cstr(rsDemande.Fields.Item("lien").Value) = "True" Then Response.Write("
checked='checked'") : Response.Write("")%>>

But neither works. The checkbox remains unchecked!?

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks a lot,

Jerome
