If your database never contains an empty string, then your program can rely on the empty strings you retrieve being NULL values in the database. But if an empty string ever crept into a database field, then your program would think the field is null when it's not. If this would cause a grevious error, then you should find a better way. -Alan __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? SBC Yahoo!
