Hi Dan:<BR>
<BR>
If you make for yourself a special purpose dictionary you could say <BR>
NULLS NOT ALLOWED on the database definition. I believe PowerHouse would<BR>
return a blank for a null character item and a 0 for a null numeric item for a null datetime <BR>
item I am not sure.<BR>
<BR>
Regards,<BR>
