CAST syntax

Can anyone tell me the cast syntax. I am using it to convert a record to 1 or 0 depending on the value returned. This is something what I have:

SELECT tblAccountLogins.loginID, tblAccountLogins.Name,
CAST(SELECT tblTranslationProfileUsers.loginID
FROM tblTranslationProfileUsers
WHERE tblTranslationProfileUsers.translationProfileID = 3
AND tblTranslationProfileUsers.loginID = tblAccountLogins.loginID)
AS checked AS (Here the CAST VALUE)
FROM tblAccountLogins
WHERE customerID = 10

The reason to do so is that when I display loginID in an ASP page the checkboxes are checked for which the checked is true or something like that.

TIA

The syntax is

cast(expression as datatype)

So one way of writing your statement is

SELECT tblAccountLogins.loginID, tblAccountLogins.Name,
(SELECT cast(tblTranslationProfileUsers.loginID as int)
FROM tblTranslationProfileUsers
WHERE tblTranslationProfileUsers.translationProfileID = 3
AND tblTranslationProfileUsers.loginID = tblAccountLogins.loginID)
as checked
FROM tblAccountLogins
WHERE customerID = 10
