Datetime Filter

For one of the tables on my report i need to allow only the records where a
certain datetime field has Null value. I have not been able to figure out the
expression in the filter that would do this.
Any ideas?
I cannot do this in the select statement as other data regions require
records with values in the same field.You can do a filter at the table level (the Table report object, that is) or
at the list level by high-lighting the Table or List (for instance) and
selecting the filters from the Properties menu and placing a filter on the
data in the object. Hope this helps.

What I am having trouble with is the expression to use in the filter. I get
the feeling that it does not like to handle Nulls.

you tried the following in your filter?
set Expression to your date/time field
set Operator to "="
set Value to "= Nothing"
This is assuming you do not also need to include a date spread for when the
field does have a value. If so, let me know. I have that figured out as
well.

That worked groovy.
I swear I tried everything so close to that. Don't know how I missed it.
