You can also do, Application.Yes = "'Yes'" and change it to
Application.Yes = 1 when you move backends, oh, and then use the app var
in your query. (Don't forget to use PreserveSingleQuotes. When you use
Access, it will preseve the single quotes around Yes, and when you use
MySQL, it will do nothing.)
