Thanks, it worked for null ( without dots ). Though my ODBC driver ( from Oracle version 8.01.07.00 ) doesn't translate correctly
which doesn't become Oracle null. What happens , all Foxpro CHARs in view unless null travel back with trailing spacing and upset VARCHAR2s or maybe I am missing some settings.

>>Can't figure out how to set nulls in Oracle database ( 8.1.7 ) on NT with their ODBC driver. In remote view initially all Oracle nulls are shown correctly as .NULL. but using .NULL. as value to assign via typing in grid cell or command window "replace field1 with .NULL." result in literal string '.NULL.' after updating when then run query in SQL*Plus.
