I have a data type mismatch if I select "H", but "A" selects.

[Guest]

I am using Access 2003. I have a field defined as text one position. It
will contain only "A" or "H", but this is not included in the properties. If
I query the table, I can select either value, and get a valid dataset. In
another query, using several files. I try to select by this field. If I try
"A". I get a valid dataset. If I try "R" or "T", I get an empty dataset. If
I select "H", I get a "Data type mismatch" error. I believe this identifies
the error as "Error 3464. I am running out of things to try. Any suggestions?

Thank you.

When you say "select" do you mean "Type"? Also, please post your SQL for the
query you are getting an error.

Sorry about taking so long to answer. I work usually with Firefox and
Thunderbird, and Microsoft doesn't like the way they work, so I have to do
some massaging to get back to you.

Gamehomeaway is a one-position text field; Allow Zero Length is False;
Attributes: Variable Length; Collating Order: General; Data Updatable: False;
Display Control: Text Box; Required: True.

I hope this is what you need.
