--------------------------------------------

I just wanted to add somethiong moe interesting, and related to the issue :

1) This is not because ADS does not accept empty DN except for rootDSE that 
LdapStudio should not provide such a DN : there are other Ldap server out there 
;)
2) A search operation with an empty DN should always be accepted, an sent to 
the server
3) A modify operation applied on a empty DN should be sent to the server, this 
is the server responsaibilty to accept it or not
4) A delete operation should be sent to the server, with the same behavior
5) a create operation should be sent to the server, with the same behavior.

In other words, from the LdapStudio point of view, empty DN *musr* be seen as 
legitimate.

Any discussion about the legitimity of an empty DN would deserve another thread 
on [EMAIL PROTECTED]

(and I must admit that I started the discussion, so my bad :)
