OK, I have a rather large excel spreadsheet that I need to import into Access (2007). The spreadsheet has numerous “Yes/No” fields (users enter a “1” for Yes, and leave it blank for No). The majority of the fields (several hundred) are left blank (indicating No). The Yes/No fields will appear as checkboxes on an Access report. After importing the spreadsheet to an Access table, then creating a report from the table, all of the checkboxes for the “No” fields show up shaded. I would prefer to have them open as unchecked. I have set the Triple State property for the check box control to “no” but it seems to have no effect.
Thanks.

Run an update query after import, set the null value to 0
 
Is there a way to do this across the whole table or does it have to be done one field at a time?
In other words:
UPDATE [Table 1] SET [Table 1].[1st Field] = 0
WHERE ((([Table 1].[1st Field]) Is Null));

This table has dozens of fields.
Thanks.
