The information in this article applies to:
  • Microsoft FoxPro for MS-DOS, versions 2.0, 2.5, and 2.5a
  • Microsoft FoxPro for Windows, versions 2.5 and 2.5a

You can have a Y or N instead of a .T. or .F. in a screen or in a Browse window.

For a screen, all you need is the letter "Y" (case is not important) in the Format section.

For a Browse window, you must have a PICTURE clause on that logical field. For example: 

   BROWSE FIELDS <fieldname>:P="Y"
