I have a remote view against an Access table and am struggling with data type and syntax issues.
1. If I wanted to add a logical field to a view against a vfp table I could say " .f. as lexclude " How would I do this when the view is coming from Access? I tried [NO] as lexclude but it won't eat that saying an expected parameter is not found etc. Note that this logical field which is just there so I can have a checkbox in my grid that displays the view which will be used in later processing - once the data comes from Access it has nothing to do with the back end. (no, i don't want to use a listbox activex control < g > )
2. I have a character or 'text' field in the access table. I want to parameterize the view such that I will only get records where that field is empty. My registered parameter variable is vp_processed. I have tried ?vp_processed=" " and ?vp_processed=NULL and ?vp_processed=.NULL. to no good effect
Guidance much appreciated (and for future reference if one could tell me if the same solutions would apply against SQL data that would be a bonus)
TIA

Half the harm that is done in this world is due to people who want to feel important. They don't mean to do harm-- but the harm does not interest them. Or they do not see it, or they justify it because they are absorbed in the endless struggle to think well of themselves.
