Jim,
Back up table
In an select query

Select the field you want to flip 2 times

Criteria = "is null"

Run query and be sure that's what you want and expect to see. If not play
with that until it is what you want.

When select returns correct criteria change to update query

It will add a line to QBE grid that says change to 

Change to " "

Run query.

HTH

Joe



If it is ok

What is the easiest way to convert all null values in a table to empty
strings? This is a one time conversion. TIA
