>I'm using updatable views. When I display the results of a left outer join, some of the fields contain .NULL.. This does not create any problems with correct operation of my program. Often I am using a combobox control to edit a character field that may contain .NULL.. Again, no problem, the combobox works fine and the '.NULL.' goes away when the combobox gains focus. My problem is that the display of '.NULL.' in my grid does not look good. There is a property on textboxes called NullDisplay that allows me to substitute other text to be displayed in place of NULL, however when I use SPARSE = .T. the grid displays the data and gives me no NullDisplay property. What is the easiest way to get the Nulls out of my grid display????
Try
SET NULLDISPLAY TO " "
in your startup code
