I think that’s on the Dao, is it not?   Doug   From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Brian Kotek Sent: Friday, May 26, 2006 9:28 AM To: reactor@doughughes.net Subject: Re: [Reactor For CF] What happens if I ask for a non-existant record ?   FWIW there is an exists() method in the gateway that will tell you if a given record exists in the database. At least it is a way to determine whether the record is there or not if you really have a table that allows nulls in all the columns.

Fiddle... fiddle... I get back a record with empty properties. Ahh. So the real question is how you tell the difference betwen a record not found, and one that was found, but has empty fields.
