You can get rid of it by first checking if the value is null and then,
if it is not, displaying it in the textbox. For instance, in Delphi you
would write something like

if MyQuery.FieldByName('mytimefield').IsNull then MyTextbox.Text:=''
else MyTextbox.Text:=MyQuery.FieldByName('mytimefield').AsString

But you are probably not using Delphi (I guess Delphi would interpret
Null as an empty string, even in a time field), so you'll have to
translate this into your programming language.
