Hi Diane

As you may have seen in my earlier reply to Cathy, I'm not too hot on
Boolean matters, so a little request for clarification from an "oracle"!

Does what you say mean that there really is no way of replacing the two
options available, even say "Y" instead of "Yes" in the visualisation of the
selection made?

If that is true, why are Yes/No, On/Off and True/False acceptable and not
1/0? ..... although I think I have seen that it is actually -1/0?

Hope someone is not going to say that I've gone off topic and will at least
please send me a link to read it up!

Many thanks
Graham

Yes/No is a Boolean field so it can only be on/off...yes/no. So it'll always
be No until you flip it to yes.

Rather, create a text field that is 1 character long and set to a Lookup.
Enter your own values of M and F.
