Ah thanks!
This should work, but there a global macro somewhere in my code that
replaces all these blank "" for nulls by NA value.
Now I'll have to figure out whether this test comes first or it is the
macro. Someone else wrote this code and he's leaving....
It's fun being a programmer, excitement never stops!!!!! ;)

Nathan,
Are you one of the original developers of Velocity? I find your replies
quite useful and thorough.
