Actually you should use is null, or is not null (if you want to retrieve the rows that don't have null values), either uppercase or lowercase. Your query should be something like that: SELECT [ID], [Project Name], [Start Construction Date], [Actual Completion Date] FROM common WHERE [Start Construction Date] is null OR [Actual Completion Date] is null -----Original Message----- From: Juan [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: quinta-feira, 1 de fevereiro de 2001 14:15 To: Conover, Ryan Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [PHP] Nulls in database Réponse au message | [PHP] Nulls in database | du jeudi 1 février 2001, 18:05 : This is from memory concerning my old SQL class but isn't there something specific in sql lines saying that to find null values you should use : ISNULL Since an empty string is different from a null entry.
