    Does the zero indicate a Null value?

    if the field data type is integer then you use 0 for null, if its a text field you use two quotes, "".

    NULL

    The Null value indicates that the variable contains
    no valid data.
    Null is not the same as Empty,whic indicates that a variable
    has not yet been initialized.
    It is also not the same as a zero-length string (""), which
    is sometimes referred to as a null string.

    Use the IssNull to determine wheter an expression contain
    a Null value.
