I generate some dbf's and xml's for one of my endusers to import.
Unfortunately, this is an MS Access (only) user and blank/empty
strings are universally imported as Access nulls (by which I think she
means 0 length strings). She has to concatenate several columns to
create a key to work with, but the 0 length columns - all significant
from a data standpoint - throw everything off. I'm not able to push
filler characters into the data because other users need it as is.

Surely there's a workaround for this, but what is it?
