The ZERO setting won't make a difference. If you want the 2 null columns to "match" you would have to SET EQNULL ON before you bring up the form. What is your EQNULL setting now? If it is OFF, then you might want to turn it On right before bringing up the edit form, then set it back OFF after exiting your edit form or else other parts of your programming code might act differently.
