Convert -1 or 0 to Y or N in append query

[troy]

I am trying to convert the -1 or 0 in a field I call attachment into a Y or N
field in another table as an append query. The data in the other table
(target table) is set up as a TEXT field Y or N as the data. What is the
expression I can put in my query under my "Attachment" field that is set up
as a Y/N datatype to append to a table that is set up as a TEXT filed with Y
or N as the data.
Thank you for your help. I dot think I made myself clear enough on my last
post?

Dear Troy:

Please try this:

IIf(OldField, "Y", "N")

I get a error stating that the specified tbl could refer to more than one

I used this SQL statement and it almost works but does not return the "T" it
only returns the "n". Any idea on how to help?

Thank you

Dear Troy:

I missed that you had said the column name is "attachment" so I'll fill that
in:

IIf(attachment, "Y", "N")

Now, perhaps you must specify which table it is in. And perhaps it is text,
not numeric, so a rather complete syntax would be:

IIf(CInt([Table Name].attachment), "Y", "N")

You must substitute the Table Name above.

Is this any better?

You lost me on this post. Where does the "T" come from?

Post your SQL statement.
