John, I think you are right. If a specific application needs to get NULL from user input, that application can put in the means to do so. The major place where I see this would be in survey-type data where there are answers like yes/no, a/b/c/d, etc. None would say "didn't respond to this question". Ditto for scientific test data: None means "no data", where 0 would mean "measured 0". The user would have to have the ability to re-set the None value if they mistakenly filled in the wrong field at first. -- pkm ~ http://paulmcnett.com _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: Dabo-dev@leafe.com Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/dabo-dev
