...not a SQL function in how you meant it anyway. I believe IIF() IS a function in MS Access... that has been many years for me though.

You will need something like this instead... Select case when myBitFiled=1 then 'Yes' else 'No' end as myBitField from table .:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.

I am creating a small bit of script to dump some data to a csv file. I want to convert a Boolean field to a Yes or No inside the query. I've used this technique in my SELECT statement from scouring the net. IIF(PractitionerNews, 'YES', 'NO') AS MyConvertedField However, this returns an error... [Macromedia][SQLServer JDBC Driver][SQLServer]'IIF' is not a recognized built-in function name. The box is running CF8 and SQL 2005. Is this the recommended approach in CFML or is there a better way.
