[AccessD] SERIOUSLY OT: Re: An Interesting question

That's why so many articles start off with a short overview and a couple of 
definitions -- at least mine do -- along with oft repeated phrase, "within 
the context of..." so nobody beats me over the head with irate email (Okay, 
they still do that...) -- just a few weeks ago, some guy told me to "stick 
to what you know..." First really rude email I've gotten in years -- what a 
hoot.

However, I think we can all agree that null, within the context of the mdb 
database system means unknown -- nothing more, nothing less.

As to the Null = Null --- I think... that SQL Server has a switch  you can 
set to control that -- will treat is as a Boolean, but that's SQL Server, in 
Access, you have no such control.
