I have started conversion of the code that was originaly written for
Access. All commands, Insert, Update etc work fine with MySql, but not
with MsSql. The only real problem that I can see is the True and False
fields. I really don't want to have to write completely seperate
routines for each database back end.

Laudable - but highly improbable (IMO).

Also, pulling in a field and setting a CheckBox.Checked state to True or
False is easy if the return value is True or False.

I have thought about writing some kind of parser to check for certain
keywords and replace them, but I cannot guarantee that the users are not
going to use the words True, Flase or even 1 or 0.

Any help would be greatfully recevied as I currently have no idea how to
get around this!

Neither do I as I don't use Access. I suggest you post to an
Access-specific NG since that is the crux of the issue here. As I said
earlier, there is no boolean datatype in sql server. Since moving an
Access system to sql server appears to be a common activity, I expect that
this topic has been covered in an Access NG.
