I am creating my first Visual Studio project. I have created a form and
used written directions to add data from a table to the form using table
adapters, data sets, etc.
I imported a table from an Access database which has some date fields. Many
of these dates have never been filled in, so are nulls. If I look directly
into the table data it shows NULL.
However, when I scroll from record to record on the form, any date field
which should be NULL shows today's date, though it doesn't change it to that
date (thank goodness!).
How can I change the property on this field to show a blank or the word NULL
rather than today's date? Which property is this, and where? The form, the
table, the TableAdapter??? As I said, I am new to Visual Studio,
experienced in Access.
Thanks,
Mich

Each date field has also been created as a calendar drop-down box - is this
why there is a default date of today? I would rather show NULL, e.g. one of
the dates is a disposal date, and the item is not disposed of yet.
