Thx Arnaud,

that's one of the way outs I had in mind.
It is not very clean since I have to initialise a variable to test if another variable has been initialised

But the more general question remains:

Isn't there a way in Realbasic to test if a datatype has been initialised? Something like IsSet or IsInited.

Coming to think of it (because it is similar to this problem), how will a database pass a Null value to an integer when I do:

myInt = RS.Field("anIntegerField").IntegerValue. I would hope for an IsNull

hmmm, strange

Some database do extend the standard db api and add an isnull so you can test this

In the RB language integers cannot be "nil" so you always get a valid value regardless of what it is in the database
Other intrinsic types work like this as well
