Casey,

When you view the data via Enterprise Manager, is it displaying as NULL or
something else?

If EM is not showing that the value is null, you may loop through each of
the characters in ASP and output the ASCII value (using ASC()) value for
each character.  That way you can see exactly what the string is.
