I restored a backup from SQL 2000 to SQL 2008R2, now in 2000 the bit value was 0 and 1, but 2008 designates it true/false. The software i'm using for this (it was specially developed) is returning errors because of this.

unfortunatly the original source code is no longer available so i cant make the changes at the source code level. Is there any way to set 2008 to use the old bit value, if not is there any alternatives you can recommend that will produce the same result using other data types. From what i can gather the application is loading items into combo boxes based on whether the cells in this column have a bit val of 0 or 1
