Hi,

On a related note - it seems impossible to give an atribute the empty string 
as value.

For instance, I have 'mailreplyText' as atribute, which is used for vacation 
messages and the like. I can imagine that uses who don't want to use vacation 
messages, simply leave the entry blank. However, I can't insert a blank value 
into the attribute.

Is this a problem with the SYNTAX of the attribute, or is this a general 
thing?
Ans is the only way to effect an 'empty' valued attribute, to remove the 
attribute fromt he entry ? I believe it works that way, but I'd like 
confirmation. I think I can understand why values may not be 'empty' but 
can't there be situations where an attribute is a MUST in the schema but can 
have the empty string as one of it's possible values ?

- -Ace
