By "bound", do you mean that you had set the DataSource and the DataField properties? If so, I think that the only way to correct it is to insure that your database doesn't contains Null.

If you populate yourself controls on the forms, there is at least 2 ways:
1. Use the IsNull() function.
example: text1.text = iif(isnull(rs!field1), "", rs!field1)
2. If your fields are text fields, concatenate an empty string to it.
example: text1.text = rs!field1 & ""

I don't know any functions that returns a value telling if the programmer is null. Maybe in the next version! Send your request to the VB wish list!!!
