Jane,

What value is there to setting it to <nothing> vs. the word NULL?   I find
that in scripts, SmartSets and other functions that I can still use that
field and objects as I designed by setting the field to NULL when I am done
using it.    In all cases I can say to ignore any objects with a string
"NULL" field value so those objects don't get in the way.




Kind regards,
