Okay NULL here I come.

I tried putting a zero in the remote view but it said data type mismatch
I tried {01/01/1899} and it said something that it cant read a property of
the table
I removed the default value complete and now I can add records, though they
look empty, but when I reopen the view I get .NULL. (the VFP equiv.) in the
date fields.
