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:
