    Table True False Checkbox

    Sorry I cant seem to find the answer to this anywhere, Seems like it should be easy but I cant figure it out.

    I have a table with a Yes/No field and access has automatically made it into a checkbox on/in the table.



    How can I make that be either True/False text or 1,0 values instead of showing the check box?

    Thanks

    In the table designer look at through the tabs for the field.

    That said you shouldn't let your users work directly in the tables, you should work in a form. There you can use a text box, check box, combobox, listbox, whatever you like. You can make a "data sheet" form that looks like a table or spreadsheet.

    all these values are the same in Access:
    true/false
    1/0
    yes/no

    but NOT in text: "TRUE" or "FALSE"
    true/false is numeric, so you cant use text, its a checkbox.

    you COULD use a combo box that has 2 values, the 1st is your 'text' , and the 2nd is the numeric value which is bound to the field:
    "TRUE",-1
    "FALSE", 0
