Interesting.  Apparently, at this point our "Microsoft-compatible"
hack is arguably *failing* to be Microsoft-compatible.

The KB article is carefully written to make it sound like the only
"foo = NULL" queries out there are mistakes made by users; but wasn't
the original issue that Access97 itself would generate a bogus query?

I'm confused about which component is what here ... what exactly is
the relationship between Access, Jet, MDAC, etc?
