Hi Russ.

Probably the quickest way is to create a cursor with a structure that matches your intended Select results, only with all the fields set to allow Nulls and them stick
union select * from FixStructure
into your select (assuming that you called the cursor FixStructure. Now when Fox gathers the structure information it will now that the output fields need to be able to hold Null, and because the FixStructure cursor is empty there isn't any extra data overhead like you would get if you tried to process the result and add Null support later.
