Pass the value of a check box to action page

[EdmondsM]

Hi All, I know this is probably very simple but I can't figure it out. I have
a checkbox on my forms page. When a user checks any one of the boxes I want to
submit the name of the field to the database using the value= parameter. If I
do something like the following I get a -1 in the database field

<cfinput type="checkbox" name="checkbox1" value="checkbox1">

How would I go about passing checkbox1 to the field in the databse.

Thanks in advance

I need to add that the format of the form is flash

I'm guessing that the database field type is numeric and you're trying to
insert a string into a numeric field...

Hey Mack, thanks for the response. The field in the DB is text, an I am trying to pass text. Now if I don't use flash it works fine. But the client really wants the interface in flash.
