<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>...this is a prime example of Microsoft geek
writing ...the reason I never buy anything from MS Press ...I'll be damned if I
can figure out what it is that the nz function doesn't quite perform "as
expected"? :(</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>...I use nz in several AXP apps and to date have
noticed nothing that I didn't expect ...but with this kind of crap KB, I'll be
certain to waste a lot of time the next time I use it, just futzing about
looking for some kind of error in the returned data :(((((</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>...I don't know whether to thank Charlotte for
pointing this out or mail her my dirty laundry instead :(</FONT></DIV>

<DIV>William Hindman ...ok, I won't mail her my dirty laundry ...probably upset
my post lady :)</DIV>

face="Comic Sans MS" size=2> that says the Nz function works in 2002 but it
may not work as expected! Say what?? It works, but it
doesn't?</FONT></P>
<P><FONT face="Comic Sans MS" size=2>Has anyone run into this? Nz isn't
always the most appropriate function, but I've never seen it fail, at least
not that I knew about. We use this a lot, and I'm concerned about
migrating our apps from 97 to 2002 and having a lot of code fall over. I
wondered if it could be the result of not passing in the optional argument,
but the article seemed rather vague to me. Does anyone else have
first-hand knowledge of the problem?</FONT></P>
