Hi Dave
Ah right OK, I didn't realise the "Query" tab was just for SQL editor, I thought it was for the data entry grids as well.
Thanks for clearing that up.

That doesn't prove it's null - it proves it's null OR 1900-01-01
00:00:00+00. However, the <NULL> output option is onlt for the Query
Tool. The data entry grid always displays an empty cell for NULL, ''
for a blank string, and \'\' for a pair or single quotes. From the
docs:
I knew it was NULL cause the table only had 1 row in it, and I'd purposely set it to NULL through a query ;-)
