[AccessD] SQL Server - Distinct ignores null?

Have you tried giving the null a value?

Eg. In the QBF,

MyFld:nz(Myfield,"")

Or

MyFld:nz(Myfield,0)

Subject: [AccessD] SQL Server - Distinct ignores null?

I have a result set where I have a ton of records that are absolutely
identical.  I am trying to do 
a DISTINCT but there is one field that is pulling a NULL.  Is it true that
the NULL will prevent the 
DISTINCT from working in this case?

Any way around this?
