Hi,

I feel your pain :-)
I had the same issue with Sybase
Sometimes interpreting a null as '' :-(

I finally change the criteria to a custom column
length(column) < 1

Subject: Witango-Talk: <NULL> vs Blank

The <NULL> vs just a blank field is not consistent in my MSSQL 2000 
database.  Sometmes it enters the <NULL>, sometimes not.  This is 
causing a problem is a search action, which identifies the <NULL> and 
the "blank" as two seperate values, so I get two or more rows returned 
for the same individual.  (My initial search brings back "unique" 
individuals meeting the search criteria.  A drill down link is provided 
if the user wants to see all the activities associated with a particular

individual.  The drill down still works for individuals that are showing

up more than once, but it is annoying to me and disconcerting to the 
users.)  Suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
