Can't find any info on this, but what are the generic values for T/F in a table? For example, I just imported one and the column bearing the T/F data contains 0's and -1's. Which is which?Semper fi, XERXES, USMC(Ret.)------------------------------------------------------The Marine Corps taught me everything but SQL & VB obviously! |

| If you imported SQL Server bit columns, normally -1 would be true and 0 would be false.When Access displays a SQL Server bit column it displays 1 as minus 1. I think that is becasue it assumes any integer type with a 1 in the high order bit is negative; since a bit column is only one bit, the 1 becomes -1.CODO ERGO SUM |

It also have references to VB and VBA. In VB true is -1 and false is 0.When you use CBOOL function, only 0 evaluates as false, all other values (positive and negative) evaluates as true.
