Hello, Sorry if this has ever been asked, the archives appear to be down. Does anyone know of any undesirable side effects of storing the acsii(0) NUL in a field in an Image Dataset? And for the ?inevitable? future, how about any other DB's for that matter? I'm looking to use it or another ascii character as a logical separator in free form text entry, when no space occurs in the text, such as in a URL string.
