At one of my client sites we noticed a few weeks ago that Listboxes
which previously showed "Yes" or "No" are now showing "-1" or "0". The
underlying tables and queries are displaying True/False fields
correctly and I suspect this problem is related to Service Pack 3.
I haven't been able to find any other posts on the Net about this
problem?
Has anyone else noticed this and more importantly, is there a solution?

I don't know what you mean by "The underlying tables and queries are
displaying True/False fields correctly...." (What's correct?) So, I
suggest you could change the ListBox's RowSource property to a SELECT
statement that includes an expression like this:
IIf(yes_no_colu mn=-1, "Yes","No") As YesNo
for the table's Yes/No column (change the column name to your column
name).
If you allow NULLs in the Yes/No column (ugh) the expression would be
like this:
IIF(yes_no_colu mn IS NULL,"UNK",IIf( yes_no_column=-1,"Yes","No") )
UNK stands for "unknown."
Relying on any control to "correctly" display the same format as the
source table is "iffy" at best. Who knows what may happen in the
future? It's always best to explicitly declare how you want the data to
be displayed.

Agree, but all was well until about 3 weeks ago.
Yes, I can change the Rowsource for all affected Listboxes but I am
curious to know why this has suddenly changed? Service Pack 3 appears
to be the culprit!
Surely someone else has seen this problem?

I created a table with a YN field. I set the format to nothing. I
created a form with a listbox. The field was displayed as 0 or -1. I
changed the format to Yes/No and it displayed Yes or No. Maybe
somebody's been changing formats.
It's likely this SP3 formatting bug for combo boxes and list boxes: http://groups.google.com/group/micro...a6789bd55fe15d
No fix from Microsoft that I have seen.
Workaround: remove the underlying field format property in the table, or
reformulate the list box RowSource.

Hi guys. I've come across a problem when I tried to serialize a class into

Actually, the class I'm serializing is two steps down in the inheritance
ladder. It's got a parent class which also has a parent class :( All those
classes in the hierarchy are Xml Serializable, and I'd think that it should
be obvious that all...

An interesting/annoying problem.
I created a small example to provoke an exception I keep getting.
Basically I have a C-struct (Container) with a function-pointer in it.

After a few seconds I get an exception.
