Are you saying something like IIF([Gender]="Yes","F","M") on the Gender field that is set up as a yes/no. Is your field already set up? Not sure yet what's needed, if you could please tell us more about your Gender field, thanks.

I'm sure I've done it in the past with a Yes/No data type and then appropriate field properties but just can't get it right today. Will somebody please put me out of my misery!!! A.
