Re: Access 2000 bitching... "The field is too small to

I'm not at work right now so don't have the exact details available,
BUT...

1. I am not using check boxes.
2. When I insert data into the table via PSQL it displays fine in the
view itself. The error occurs when I try to insert. The user does have
all the necessary privileges, etc. I have verified that part about 10
times.
3. I have not changed any of the odbc settings (as you mention) from
their default values.

I assume you are using check boxes? This has been a
frequently encountered problem for Access users.

I adopted a specific workaround a while ago, then
forgot about the problem. But before I recommend that
workaround, let's make sure that time has not revealed
a better way. What are your driver settings for
"bools as char" and "true is -1"?
