I am testing your product for a QuickBooks to SQL import/export application. When I run the following query it runs correctly -:

SELECT Name, IsActive FROM ItemInventory WHERE CustomFieldColor NOT LIKE ''



However, the following query (Without the NOT)

SELECT Name, IsActive FROM ItemInventory WHERE CustomFieldColor LIKE ''

does not work. How can I search for Items where the Color custom field is empty?

What you are really trying to do here is show all inventory items that have NULL color. This is done by using the SQL Statement:

SELECT Name, IsActive FROM ItemInventory WHERE CustomFieldColor IS NULL
