If the field's property is set to disallow zero length strings, then my
answer should not be the source of your problem.
So let's start at the beginning. Give us some details about the table,
and
about the query. Let's see the SQL string of your query.
Let's try changing the
Is Not Null
to
<> ""
in your query. What results do you get?
Let's also try adding a calculated field to your query with a criterion
expression:
TestLength: Len([NameOfFieldWithProblem] & "")
Criteria: 0
What results do you get?

how do I handle blank text fields which do not allow zero lenght
strings?
:
Probably because those fields contain an empty string, not a Null
value.

Using Access 2000 sorting in a query to eliminate blank text fields.
Criteria "Is Not Null" does not eliminate blank fields. Why?
