How do I display SQL Server 1/1/1900 dates as blank in Access?

Is there an easy way to tell Access (2000 or 2003) to display the "1/1/1900"
that SQL Server 2005 considers a blank date as blank rather than as
"1/1/1900"? I know I can create a function like that shown below to do it.
Public Function BlankDate(datInputDate)
If datInputDate < #1/2/1900# Then
BlankDate = ""
Else
BlankDate = datInputDate
End If
End Function
I'm just hoping there's a simpler more universal way to do it, either on the
Access side or the SQL Server 2005 side.
Thanks!
MichaelI thought that blank date was null.
You could try in your query using:
nullif(FieldName, '1/1/1900') as FieldName
Note that this will not be updatable.
