Checkbox - Please check this box if you want to proceed

The database already has the default = 0 for the column. Adding a new record is not an issue. But if I edit a record, check the box, submit the form, the database field is set to 1. Good so far. Now if I go back in to edit and try to un-check the field, I get the message “Please check this box if you want to proceed.” The form does not submit. I can only check the field and submit the form.
