Only thing is it seems to have a problem with the fields not having the propertype i.e. nField1 is type "C" when it should be type "N". And I haven't had time to debug it properly due to upcoming deadlines.

Your way and my example are the only ways I know of. If you are not just browsing the results and are binding the fields to controls, you can modify your classes to set the NullDisplay property. I would put a DO CASE in the class Init to handle all the data types and what you want their NullDisplay values to be.
