>I tried the CTRL-O and it didn't work. Does anyone have any other ideas? For some reason MS Access does it automatically whereas VFP can't seem to put a null into a field on a backend.

You did try it with the Ctrl-0 (zero) using the 0 from the top row of the keyboard, not the 0 on the numeric keypad, right?
