StringFromGUID with empty replication ID

[Matt]

Hello NG

I populating a treeview control with the employee data from the tblemployee
table (fields: PersonalID (Replication ID); First (Text); Last (Text);
ReportsToID(Replication ID)) with the code below.
For the supervisors the replication ID in the [ReportsToID] field is empty.
How do I have to formulate the Find.First for the supervisors?

rst.FindFirst StringFromGuid(ReportsToID) = " & "" 'didn't work :-(

Pls. help
Thank you very much
Matt


Private Sub Form_Load()
Dim nodCurrent As node
Dim strText As String, nodRoot As node
Dim bk As String, node As node
Dim objTree As TreeView

Set db = CurrentDb
Set rst = db.OpenRecordset("tblEmployees", dbOpenDynaset)

If rst.EOF Then
Exit Sub

It appears that you only want the Employees without supervisors. So,
instead of retrieving ALL emps, and trying to find those without the
ReportsTo ID, just change your query to ONLY include those that don't have
it.

Set rst = db.OpenRecordset("Select * from tblEmployees Where ReportsTo is
Null", dbOpenDynaset)

Steve thanks for your answer

But as you can see from my code, the first procedure calls the AddChildren
procedure which adds the employees to every supervisor set in the first
procedure.
So I need all records - not only the supervisors.(or am I wrong?)

If I create a query and convert the (ReportsToID) with
StringFromGuid(ReportsToID) into a String it shows an "#error" for the
supervisors which have an empty replications ID in [ReportsToID].
If I just could convert this #error into some String - I guess that would
help me a lot!

Please guide me!

best regards
Matt

I get it. A supervisor has a blank ReportsTo. I don't think I'd continue
with this method, as a Supervisor can have a supervisor.

Instead, I would add a Yes/No field to the emps table, to designate a person
as a Supervisor.
I would create a query that extracts just the supervisors, using the Yes/No
field.
I would use the Supervisor query as the basis of your Form_Load population
routine.

When you need to populate the child nodes for the Supervisor, run a query
supplying the specific EmployeeID of the Supervisor.

"Select * from Emps where ReportsTo = " & rstSupervisors!EmployeeID
