 I need to modify a table on one of my Databases - to add 2 Yes/No fields.
 The DB is Access, and the table name Pending.

alter table pending add column col1 yesno, col2 yesno;

Nick,

  I need to modify a table on one of my Databases - to add 2 Yes/No
fields.
  The DB is Access, and the table name Pending.

 alter table pending add column col1 yesno, col2 yesno;

Strange problem with that - probably Access being pathetic.  It creates the
column perfectly happily, and appears to be a Yes/No data type, but it
isn't - just says the format is blank.

Damn annoying - any ideas why this is happening?

Thanks

Will

Will,

Sorry, what do you mean by it isn't - just says the format is blank?

Sorry, didn't explain it properly.  In the Design View in Access, the new
field's data type is Yes/No.  But then looking at the properties, the
*format* should be Yes/No (other options are On/Off or True False), but it's
blank.  As a result it appears to be acting like a number data type field,
with Zeros in place of where the Yes/No checkbox should be.

I think I'll just have to download/upload it :(

 Hi,

 I need to modify a table on one of my Databases - to add 2 Yes/No fields.
 The DB is Access, and the table name Pending.

 I really don't want to have to download, modify and upload the DB because
 it's over 8MB - having not really used the MODIFY statement before, can
 anyone advise what my query/queries should look like?

 Cheers

 Will
