ConvertEmptyCell Property
The ConvertEmptyCell property specifies whether an empty cell will be written to the underlying data source as is (an empty string), or as a Null variant.
column.ConvertEmptyCell
Values
|
Design Time |
Run Time |
|
0 - Write as is (default) |
dbgNoConversion |
|
1 - Write as Null value |
dbgAsNull |
Read-only at run time. Read/Write at design time.
Note
Prior to version 6.0a, null-valued updates could only be performed in code by setting the Value property of a column to Null, typically in the AfterColUpdate event. You can now achieve the same effect at design time by setting the ConvertEmptyCell property of the desired columns to 1 - Write as Null value.
