I have a query that has null values for some of the fields. I'd like
those fields to display a zero instead of a blank so I can do totals
on them (sum/totalling the field is not working with null values) I
created a function as follows...
Function zeros(ethfield As Integer) As Integer
If IsNull(ethfield ) Then
zeros = 0
Else
zeros = ethfield
End If
End Function
I'm getting a #error for the fields with nulls, and the non-null
fields are returning the correct data. Any idea of what I'm doing
wrong or a different approach for converting the null values to zeros?

Why not use the built-in Nz function?
As in:
Nz([ethfield],0)

You are getting a error because you defined ethfield as an Integer instead
of a Variant.

i've come across a real head-hurter. I'm looping through a recordset and

type is varchar and contains words like meeting, holiday, etc.
Problem is, I'm trying to render a "n/a" when the field is null as in
LISTING 1 below. My code isn't catching the null values. How can I test for
null values? I could swear I've successfully used the Len() test like below...

I am trying to get my head around the concept of default, special or empty
values that appear in Access VBA, depending on data type. The Access Help
is not much (help), and the manual that I have is not much help here either.
Googling has given me a little help.
This is my current understanding -- I would appreciate any comments or
corrections...
"" -- this means an empty string when applied to String data type, and also

I'm fairly new to C# and I am having some problems
understanding int variables and null values.
I have created a class that populates the values of it's
fields from a DataReader in it's constructor. Those fields
are modified during various methods in the class. One
method updates the database with the values of the class
fields. I have everything working fine for string fields
but am running into problems with integers and null values.

Null as it relates to database development is one of life's little mysteries and a topic of total confusion for novices who venture out into the database world. A Null Value is not zero (0), a zero (0) length string, an empty Field, or no value at all - so exactly what is Null? The purpose of this Topic is hopefully to explain what a Null Value is, discuss some peculiarities about Nulls, show how we can detect them, and finally, how to convert...

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,...
