[Rant] BIT DataType

[Mike Labosh]

It's a zero or a one.

But stupid .NET gets it as a Boolean True / False, blows an exception and
wastes HOURS of name parsing for nothing. @#$%^&*

Thanks, I feel a bit better now, so I will just crawl back under my rock.

Whoops, OE was focused on the .access group. I meant to post to
..sqlserver.programming.

But since I'm here, if any of you folks are doing .NET stuff with an Access
DB, it may or may not have the same behavior.

With VB 0 is false and any other numerical value is True, hence the problem
you had.
