If this is intended behavior, then I would contend that it is wrong. There is a difference between null and and empty string. Null means that there is no value assigned, and empty string means there is a value assigned, just that it's empty. I would say this is a bug in the design. The TextField needs to support null. All databases allow null for a string field, so display controls should too. Jim
