asp excel

[magix]

I try to use asp to extract excel data. if the item field in excel is empty,
can I use "" to represent empty ?

will this (" ") work ?
rs("Item") = ""

rs.open "SELECT * FROM [Sheet1$]", oConn
do until rs.EOF
if rs("Item") = "" then
emptyfield = true
else
emptyfield = FALSE
end if
rs.movenext
Loop

Without making a connection and testing it, I would think yes.

if not try Trim(rs("Item")) = ""
or even Trim(Cstr(rs("Item"))) = ""

or maybe rs("Item") = null
