    I get the following errors when I try and access certain pages.  It is caused by not populating all the text boxes with data and subsequent viewing causes these conversion errors.  Does any one else experience this?  How have you guys worked around this problem?

    Conversion from type 'DBNull' to type 'String' is not valid.

    Description: An unhandled exception occurred during the execution of the current web request. Please review the stack trace for more information about the error and where it originated in the code.

    See this thread for a quick fix:

    In particular ... Lutz2 - Quick Fix.

    This is not exactly your same error location, but the idea is the same.  In Lutz2's case, ie where his error is occuring ... there are some bigger underlying problems ... which I am working.  But for now, his fix gets around it.  See if you can apply it to your situation.
