[mso] Re: Access 2002: Force 'Yes/No' Format in Make-Table Query

Hi Jim!  Thanks. I'm getting a data type mismatch error with below, I was
getting one before when I tried several things, and thought the problem was
because it was not formatted as a true yes/no field and had an alpha
character in the results before I filtered it out.  So I thought I had to
force the format when I made a new table.

However!  Testing various aspects of your code caused me to remember that I
could put a check box field on the form and have my yes/no as the control
source. Thanks for jogging my memory and helping me think this out.  The
ultimate need was for the user to have an easy check mark they could
visually see what was happening instead of reading words!

Thank you very much, I'm back in business now!
Cheers, Cathy

An 'IIf' will do the trick:

SELECT DISTINCT qun_ClosedProjects.ContractNo,
Iif([qun_ClosedProjects.WBSStatusId] = 0, "NO", "YES") INTO
tbl_ClosedProjects IN 'I:
\ServerPath\MasterData_be.mdb'
FROM qun_ClosedProjects LEFT JOIN tbl_Close_Projects ON
qun_ClosedProjects.ContractNo = tbl_Close_Projects.ProjectNo
GROUP BY qun_ClosedProjects.ContractNo, qun_ClosedProjects.WBSStatusId
HAVING (((qun_ClosedProjects.WBSStatusId)<>"C"))
ORDER BY qun_ClosedProjects.ContractNo;

Although I have to tell you that if you're using YES/NO fields, the value
-1
*is* Yes/True, While 0 is No/False. Out of curiosity, are you forcing the
change because you want to see the textual values 'Yes' and 'No'? If not --
that is, if you are just storing the results of the query -- you may want
to
consider leaving the values as is.

Subject: [mso] Access 2002: Force 'Yes/No' Format in Make-Table Query

Hi!  How do I force a Yes/No in a make table query when the field results
are -1 or 0?  The SQL is below.  I'm pulling the WBSStatusID field from a
union query that originally had 3 results, C, -1 or 0.  I'm filtering out
the C's on this query, but can't get the WBSStatusID field to format as a
Yes/No for the export.  Thank you, Cathy

SELECT DISTINCT qun_ClosedProjects.ContractNo,
qun_ClosedProjects.WBSStatusId INTO tbl_ClosedProjects IN 'I:
\ServerPath\MasterData_be.mdb'
FROM qun_ClosedProjects LEFT JOIN tbl_Close_Projects ON
qun_ClosedProjects.ContractNo = tbl_Close_Projects.ProjectNo
GROUP BY qun_ClosedProjects.ContractNo, qun_ClosedProjects.WBSStatusId
HAVING (((qun_ClosedProjects.WBSStatusId)<>"C"))
ORDER BY qun_ClosedProjects.ContractNo;
