Yes/No fields
I have two tables: customer and employee. Each has a field [Inactive],
formatted as Yes/No, Indexed (dupes ok). When viewing table data, why does one show checkbox and the other show Yes or No? They work correctly in queries, forms, reports. I am exporting and I need it to be Yes or No. One does, one doesn't and they truly appear to be setup the same. Does anyone know? -- Thanks for your help, Chris

Yes/No fields
Look at the design of your table, select your Yes/No field and then
click on the Lookup tab down in the bottom where the field properties are. My guess is that one is set to Checkbox and the other is set to Textbox. Hope that helps!

Yes/No fields
You might want to check the Format properties. I would probably use a query
with explicit expressions like: NewColumnName: IIf([Inactive],"Yes","No") -- Duane Hookom MS Access MVP "Chris" wrote in message ... I have two tables: customer and employee.
