Default excel converts bit fields to false - 04-16-2004 , 04:12 PM

I have a DTS package that shoves the results of a query into Excel. It
converts the 0's in my bit fileds into the word false. How can I stop this
from happening?

TIA, Chris

How about converting to string. Excel is correctly interpreting bit = 0 =
false and that is how it displays the boolean.
