Re: Show nulls on display file?

[Booth Martin <booth@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Can you define the situations that could have a null?  All I can think 
of is a new record?  Or perhaps a numeric field for date terminated sort 
of thing?  In any event, it seems to me that knowing how that null field 
will be used might pretty well define how you handle it?

I do like the idea of a a mark, perhaps underline a null?  It still 
confuses me though.  How will the user key a blank/null into a numeric 
field?
