If you are reading a field from a database in a loop and then adding the value in the field to a variable, how do you test that the value is not null before adding it?

Thanks,

Mike
 
If you are just trying to avoid the error then add an empty string or a 0 to the field value before using it:

strText = "" & rst.Fields("myString")
intNum = 0 + rst.Fields("myInt")
