One important factor that has to be considered while creating tables.
In foxpro there is no option of default value. All numeric values have a default value of 0
logical have a default value of false.

in Dbase the default value has to be specified.
So when a record is appended a logical field will have a value of null.
so if you check the field for true or false both the conditions will be false
?logical_field = true
?logical_field= false

both the above conditions will be false.
So at the time of creation of tables specify a default value according to the field type.
