I have a table that I am using to track a users progress on a set of forms. The rows are datetime format. I would like to test if a field is null, and if it is display a 0 otherwise a 1. I tried ISNULL(step1, 0) AS Step1 but it returns 1/1/1900 instead of a 0. Is there a way to test this so I can get a 0 for null? If there is no date in the field then the user has not started that step yet.

SELECT CASE WHEN Step1 IS NULL THEN 0 ELSE 1 END
This will return the row as integer.
In your case it shows 1/1/1900 because it transforms that integer 0 to SMALLDATETIME which is the type returned by you

This is how I tried to do it, but it didn't work.
I don't understand how to use Case?
Select ISNULL(MySurvey_Started, 0) As SurveyStarted, ISNULL(Start_User_Information, 0) As Step1, ISNULL(Start_Dependents, 0) As Step2
FROM dbo.MySurvey_Progress
Where User_ID = @ClientID
