 bit column expressed in a listbox

I want to show the bit column of a table in a listbox, but it only displays it as 0 or -1, not yes or no. The table has a standard bit column, no nulls allowed, default is 0. the list box entries are based off a query that selects the columns. I was hoping there was a way to specify in the listbox properties or the query properties what 0 and -1 translated too..

any ideas?

Not sure what options you have for formatting for a list box. Might be easiest to edit your query and translate the bit value into a string value:

select ...., IIF(bitValue = 0, "No","Yes") as bitDisplay
from ....
