This is an MS brain damage implementation of Booleans. It is used this way
starting from MS Access 1.0 up to VB 5.0. I don't know why MS decided to
use this convention in the early MS Access 1.0 age but for compatibility
reason they had to retain it up to the most recent version of their
development programs.
