Why not save the Boolean variable as a Boolean value? Why use a string
representation instead of logical? To me that would be the "optimal"
solution.

If you want to display "True/False" to a user, I'd write the display
code to do that function but wouldn't use a character variable as the
underlying variable.

VB has defined keywords True and False which are recognized as the
accepted VB values for logicals-- -1 and 0, respectively.

Use them and not a string representation of "True" or "False" is my
recommendation of which path is "less evil"... ;)
