Question : Convert Access String to SQL Server BIT Data Type
|
|
I've got a table in MS Access 2000 which contains text strings of "Y" or "N" (for yes and no, obviously).
I'm trying to move that data using ADO or a append query, into a MS SQL Server 7 table, where the data type is formatted as BIT.
Anyone know of the conversion or formatting code to do this?
I know how to move it, I just need to convert the data before or as I move it.
I tried CBool and CByte but got data type conversion errors each time..

If you have linked the tables into access they will appear as -1 for True and 0 for False. These are Access' version of boolean numeric values.
A common, general test for true and false is False: Field = 0 True: Field <> 0
Because of the above version differences. I think it shold be possible to register any number except 0 into the field and get True values in return, not 100% sure though.
