I need to be able to interpret the bitfield code in the options field of the user table (vbulleting 3.6.0) I use this table to update another database for a sql/asp program we wrote to track tournamnet points. We also now do html mail outs from this program and i need to be able to extract each users choice on receive admin email (yes or no) from the bitfields. Can anyone help me please?

From the vb bitfields list you can see that the adminemail option value is 16 ;



Code:
---------------
Code is only visible to licensed users, and only when logged into the forums.

So you need to do a logical AND of the useroptions value and 16 - and test the result.

so basically i will need to run a decimal to binary conversion on the options field for every user, then do a logic check in our .net program that checks that ***~**1***** is set.

BTW, 16 = bit 5, not bit 6 as in your post.
