Allow Zero Length and SQL create / alter table

Question:

With a 'create table' or an 'alter table' SQL statement I can add tables or columns to my online live Access database.
I can set new columns to non-required using 'null' in the SQL statement, but is there a way to set the 'Allow Zero Length' property to 'yes' as well?

Delete Dynamically Named Folder

Question:

How can I delete a dynamically named folder with the record it belongs to?
I created a member site that uses Pure ASP Upload to create a dynamically named folder for each member's images when they first upload. Sometimes we need to delete a member and want to delete the folder as well. Not all members upload images so not all members have folders. How can I delete the folders with the deleted record and insure the page doesn't crash when there is no folder? Read More

How do I handle BLOB fields in the Recordset

Question:

When dealing with BLOB fields from Microsoft SQL Server, you must put them to the right of non-BLOB columns in the resultset. To be safe, you should also read the columns in left-to-right order, so if you have two BLOB columns as the last two columns in your resultset, read the first one and then the second. Do not read them in the reverse order. Read More
