Re: Access 2000 bitching... "The field is too small to

I'm not sure really, but it might by a problem with a DATE field that receives TIMESTAMP data. Try casting.

Otherwise, avoid BOOLS with a MS Access front-end... Use INT2 instead.

Hope this helps

I'm not at work right now so don't have the exact details available, BUT...

1. I am not using check boxes.
2. When I insert data into the table via PSQL it displays fine in the view itself.  The error occurs when I try to
insert. The user does have all the necessary privileges, etc.  I have verified that part about 10 times. 
3. I have not changed any of the odbc settings (as you mention) from their default values.

I assume you are using check boxes?  This has been a
frequently encountered problem for Access users.

I adopted a specific workaround a while ago, then
forgot about the problem.  But before I recommend that
workaround, let's make sure that time has not revealed
a better way.  What are your driver settings for
"bools as char" and "true is -1"?
