Does it look as though NULL = EmptyString will make it? If not I need to start altering things.

Also I'll ask the obligatory question - when do we get it?

No, but the other times I've been disappointed and received something eg speeding fine, bills etc

Roy,

Another item that may help,  you could always place the following in the
OnBeforePost event.

If Field.AsString = '' then // (or AsInteger = 0)
 Field.Clear;

This was you are always checking for populated vs. NULL, and not have to
worry about '' and 0 in a field.

Regards,
Scott.

I could. I could also define all string fields as not null default ''. However, I don't want to because

1. it makes converting an app a major problem (see my other posts about this)
2. generating sql automatically is a bit more difficult since you now have different tests to see if something is empty
3. I'm an awkward sod
4. I do not believe that null and empty string are different (regardless of what the standard says) but I do believe that 0 and null are different
5. I'm an awkward sod.

I can't say for sure, but it's certainly still on the list.

It's running a little late due to the nightmare that this support plan thing
has become.   I will update everyone further in the next week or so.

If it looks as though its not going to make it, or be substantially delayed please post an announcement so I can a) get the voodoo doll out and b) start making changes.

I've already got one.   Just have to get the pins out.
