Chuck,

Thanks for the example.

I agree that would not give the desired result if there is a situation
where an empty string is valid and it isn't the default.  My suggested
solution would not work, as is.  

Is that a current possibility, Chuck?  If so, I would almost think that
ldap might not be the ideal container for prefs and change back to sql as 
much as I would prefer not to, but to paraphrase a signature file I've
been seeing recently, just because I have duct tape, doesn't convert
everything to a duct.:-)
