Listbox does not allow me to detect a null value

A particular item in my listbox is null.

The field is of type currency.

I'm running Access 2000 - SP3

When I use the Isnull(orderite ms.column(12,12 )) it does not detect it.

Also, if i use the nz function it does not detect it either.

The listbox is getting the value from a query, I can observe that the
value is null and I tested it through the use of a textbox
txt131 = orderitems.colu mn(12,12)

I've also used jet to determine that the value is null.

R.findfirst(cri tera)

isnull(R!GSTval ue) then ect.
This works.

I'm completely lost as to what to do now.

I need to perform operations based on this field and if it's null I
will get a type mismatch.

Thanks in advance.

I've found that in some cases, Access converts the data in combo box columns
to text. In this case, a Null will have been converted to an empty string,
and that's what you'll need to test for.

I put the code for this into the...

First my apologies, this may be longer than the normal question. I have a windows app (.NET 2.0, VS2005), and I've written a user control that will allow the user to "drag and drop" a directory from one computer (files are in NVM), to another (files on a PCMIA memory card). The actual directory names are meaningless to the user, so we display a data item and a datetime that the directory was created. When I fill the listbox that is the...

Using Access 2007 I find that, on opening a form, a listbox control always displays one of the values in the list, even if no value has been selected. Thus, the first value in the list is displayed (without highlighting) when the field has a null value. The user may then change the displayed value by clicking on the up or down arrow to the right of the control. This newly displayed value will also be without highlighting and will be...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
