So I have created my first site.  I have configured login and customer portal access.  everything is working great.

EXCEPT...

in my controller I am creating a list of reservations

List<reservation__c> reservations = [SELECT id, name, Departure_Time__c, Return_Time__c, allDay__c, Required_Services__c, Notes__c FROM Reservation__c WHERE Account__c =: getAccountID() ORDER BY Name];

 I am displaying that list in my visual force page

<apex:repeat value="{!reservations}" var="i" id="reservationList"> {!i.allday__c} </apex:repeat>

 allDay__c is a Checkbox (boolean)

When I login as a regular salesforce user (not through customer portal) and run the page all my reservations return TRUE for allDay__c (which is correct according to their value in the database)

When I login as a customer portal user (through the customer portal i setup through sites) and run the page, all my reservations return FALSE for allDay__c (which is NOT correct according to their value in the database)

So as I was playing around I tried manually setting the value of the field after I retrieved it from the DB.  Still same thing. All values display false.

MY WORK AROUND: I ended up creating a Wrapper class and assigning the value of allDay__c to a Boolean inside the Wrapper.  I then read the value from the wrapper in Visualforce.  This Worked.

Kind of weird huh?  Any light on this subject would be awesome.

Thank You
