How do you prevent "Filter Excluding" from eliminating NULLs?

Go into a table where you have a field that has NULL values. Right-
Click on a record with a value in that field and choose "Filter
Excluding Selection". Some (or most, or all) of your records where
there is a NULL value in that field get eliminated.

Without getting crazy (i.e. designing your own bottons and "re-
inventing the wheel"), is there a way to make Access stop doing this?

No. You must design your own query/filter/interface if you want different
behavior.

This is standard (and correct) behavior. More info in:

We use an ISAPI filter to convert long urls into short clean ones. For example: "Site.com/user/john/" Is re-written as: "Site.com/user/userinfo.aspx?uid=john" Now, "userinfo.aspx" contains a web user control which uses some Atlas functionality; The web user control contains a "DataList" which gets updated asynchronously through Atlas when the user clicks a button –the button is the Atlas trigger.

Does anyone know how to do that? In my real project actually, I filter on two fields like this... bindingsource.filter = "col1='" & var1 & "' AND col2='" & var2 & "'" wherein var1 or var2 may contain a null value. Its just the same as if I want to show all records with null values. Any ideas?
