Thank's Sergey,

Actually I'm not -confusing zero and null's that is- that's the problem.

The rowsource of the textbox is of type integer, and even though the value in the table is null it appears as if it's zero.

Your suggestion solves the problem of course.

Have a nice christmas!


>>Well, that's it - I set the nulldisplay property of a textbox to []and expect it to display nada - instead it says 0 (zero).
