Nulls as 1.1.1900

I would be very thankful if anybody could help me with this:
If there is a date field with a null value it defaults to 1.1.1900
is it possible to change the default to the empty datevalue or ' / / '
Thanks
Bjarni SigurdssonIf the value is indeed NULL, you can detect that by binding an indicator
field for the row/parameter in question.
