>No, it will evaluate as .NULL. Any comparison with .NULL. returns .NULL. This is because there is no meaningful comparison to be made, since .NULL. has no value or data type. This is not the same as EMPTY() which can be applied to various data types.

One minor correction, NULL does have a data type. It is NILL that has no data type and VFP doesn't support he value of NILL.
