SUMMARY
=======

When you import Yes/No, True/False, or On/Off data types from Microsoft Access
into Microsoft MapPoint, the data is displayed as numeric values.

MORE INFORMATION
================

Access internally stores Yes/No, True/False, and On/Off data types as the
numeric values listed in the following table.

+---------------------------+
| Data type | Numeric value | 
+---------------------------+
| Yes       | -1            | 
+---------------------------+
| No        | 0             | 
+---------------------------+
| True      | -1            | 
+---------------------------+
| False     | 0             | 
+---------------------------+
| On        | -1            | 
+---------------------------+
| Off       | 0             | 
+---------------------------+

MapPoint displays the internally stored numeric values rather than the formatted
text equivalent that is used in Access tables.
