There is no binary data type for fields in an Access table.
If you mean a field that will return only either True (-1) or False (0),
then you want a Boolean (Yes/No) field.

If I take into account of your earlier posts, I think you want a Text Field.

You will need to set the Validation Rule to allow only "0" and "1"
characters. You should also set the max length of 32 characters since the
Hex() function can handle numbers up to 8 Hex dgits.

Jet certainly has a BINARY data type. See:

http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa140015(office.10).aspx
Intermediate Microsoft Jet SQL for Access 2000 (February 2000)

The BINARY data type.
