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? -Lew S _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: ProFox@leafe.com Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/cafuu78e+rvxmstkw2fukd+uq7dsj4-7x92nwvnxpw80ydda...@mail.gmail.com ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
