Alright, a couple of things to note...
First, Dim is for declaring variables, but if you don't specify a type
then the variable is declared as a variant. Thus, instead of...
Dim x
x = ""
You should use...
Dim x as String
x = ""
Next, to check to see if a variable is null you would use the
following...
If x Is Nothing Then
...
End If
So, I think the code you are looking for is...
If x Is Nothing Then
X = ""
End If
