What environment are you in? I just did this in Access/VB and it gave the right results. However in VB, 'AND' is the bitwise op, not &.
So maybe you had it right the first time, except that you should have been comparing to a number instead of a bool. Is bit defined as a byte? Integer would probably also work; but if stored as anything else, the bits in bit wouldn't line up right.

My current statement is: strSQL = "SELECT * FROM test WHERE (bit & 2) = 2" I have 50 records with bit equaling 1 - 50. Yet the above statement now returns an empty recordset. Maybe my parens are off?

You need to use the bitwise and (&) ALSO, you compare to an integer value, not bool. So (bit & 2) would return 2.

I want to search through a table returning all records where, say, bit 2 is set. How to I do this? Say I'm concerned with a field called bit. I've tried the following: strSQL = "SELECT * FROM test WHERE (bit AND 2) = true" This doesn't work. What am I doing wrong?
