Hi,

I have a recordset containing names of photographs and descriptions of these
photo's.

For exempla:

Photo:  car01.jpg
Description: Red Corvette

Not all the photographs have a description. In that case the Description is
empty.

The field Description is aText-field.

Using VBA I build a website containing the photos. Depending on having a
description I want a certain presentastion of the photo. So I built the
following:


Selecet Case Description
Case Null
Print #1, presentation1
Case Else
Print #1, presentation2
End Select


This Case-statement doesn't work because it doesn't recognize when the field
Description is empty.

My question is how to write the Case-statement so it will recognize when an
text-field in a record is empty.

Must I do something with the properties of the textfield? Has it possibly
something to do with the fact I use a Dutch version of Access97 and an
English version of XP?

Thanks.
