Because of various issues with bit and Access I have always used int as the data type and -1 or 0 as the default value. These can be bound directly to a check box (for example). Because the default int is a 32 bit number I was just looking to see if I could use a smaller data type. A smallint is 2 bytes and includes negative values. A tinyint does not appear to allow -1. Is there a signed byte datatype that I am not seeing? -- John W. Colby Colby Consulting Reality is what refuses to go away when you do not believe in it
