Show boolean as "True" or "False"

I need to show a boolean field as "True" or "False" with a TppDBPipeLine. I
know how to do this with a JIT control, but I want to be connected directly
to the database for these reports.

Thanks!

The DBPipeline supports Delphi's TBooleanField.DisplayValues property. If
the DBPipeline checks whether TBooleanField.DisplayValues is specified then
it will return the appropriate string value, otherwise it will return a
boolean value.

The other option is to write code to format the boolean value yourself.

Thanks for the response. I got to looking for the DisplayValues property
and found that all I have to do is to put in the "Display Format" property
(in the Object Inspector) "False;True" or "Sent;Received" or what ever my
boolean value represents. Perhaps this is what you are trying to tell me.

Thanks again,

Mike
