Mailmerge to Word issue

Hi,

My data source - an Access query - has various fields that in the database are presented as Checkboxes, but are obviously stored as a 1 or 0 in the table. How do I portray these data values as checkboxes on my merged Word doc? They just come out as 1's and 0's which obviously isn't very useful.

Many thanks in advance,

Dave
 
The easiest solution is probably to format the fields in a query and use that for the mailmerge:

Format([YN],"Yes/No")
 
Have an expression in your query

YesNo: IIF([NameofField]=-1,"Yes","No")

use the output of this field in the Mail Merge instead of the source field.
