Default ACCESS ="NO" BUT EXCEL DISPLAYS "0"

Hi,

Check your table design in Access and make sure it is not a Boolean data
type, but is Text.

If this does not work, please tell us how you are getting the data from
Access to Excel.

If this helps, please click the Yes button.

Intermittently when I export a query from Access to Excel, a "NO" in one of
the text fields in Access (contains YES, NO, and N/A) seems to get changed to
a "0" (zero) in Excel.

Is there any way to prohibit Excel from changing the NO to 0 ?

Doesn't Excel take its cell format from what's being imported?
