Default Format display in a yes/no field

Hi -

If you want to see the fiels as Yes/No in table view, to to table design.
For the field you want to change, under the Lookup tab, set Display
Control
to Text Box, and under the General tab, set the format to Yes/No.

These are for A2000, but should work in A2007 (not tested - I don't have
A2007)


John,

His problem is that it displays properly, but when he clicks in the textbox
to edit he gets the values -1 and 0. This is the behavior that cannot be
changed.

Arvin,

That is indeed my problem.

One would have thought that when Microsoft's testers were taking it through
the dev stages that it would have irritated them as much as it does me, and
presumably many end users...

You might try using a combobox with a ValueList:

0;No;-1;Yes

That should display properly.
