I don't see any update statement in your code,where are you updating the record ??

Thanks for ur reply, Vinit_Kumar, here is the update statement:
try
            {
                DebuggingInfo di = client.update(header, null, null, null, null, null, null, null, null, null, null, a, out li, out sr);
            }

and Now I knew the reson why I can't update a checkbox field, I have to set it twice,like this:
a[0].Anyue_Membership__c = true;
a[0].Anyue_Membership__cSpecified= true;

Now I got a new question, I can update a checkbox field to "checked",but I can't update it to "unchecked" it,even I set them to false,like this:
a[0].Anyue_Membership__c = false;
a[0].Anyue_Membership__cSpecified= false;

I don't know why,could anybody help me?
Thanx!
