Hi David,

Ug. I kept looking at the Numeric type in the help. Thanks.

So any ideas how tell if it's 0 for a newly appended blank record? I append a blank a record to a view, then show the user a form to edit it. I need to tell if the user picked 0 or if it is 0 from the append.

Here's what wierd. If it's a remote view using ODBC to connect to a VFP table (with that field marked to not allow null's). Append to the view, the field has a 0. Now TableUpdate it, you get an error "Field XXX does not allow NULL's". ???

>>>I get the same results. Looks like you found a bug, at least according to the help file's definition of how IsBlank() should work.
