I do like this solution!
I am aware of the possible "empty" problem but don't care.
Thanks for all of the ideas!!

Subject: Re: Yes/No field

I create a table with 2 fields : number and name.  Then add two  
records, one with 0 and "no", and the other with 1 and "yes".  Create  
a value list with these fields, but have it showing only the second  
field.  When you put this into a radio button, it will show Yes and No  
for the user, but the field will be storing 0 and 1.

That way you can do boolean operations on the data in the field, but  
the user gets the much simpler text.

Cheers,
Nick
