And vbNullString is a 'pointer' to a 'Null', ...
No, it is not a Pointer to a Null - it is a Pointer with
the *value of* Null.

Dim S as String
S = vbNullChar 'now S contains a Pointer to a Null (to a NullWCar)
S = vbNullString 'now S contains a Pointer with the value of Null

...(though VB defines it as a 'zero' string).
That's correct, an uninitialized OLE-BSTR - represented by a
NullPointer.

A Null is a Nul is a Zero the world around...
Yep, but my point was, that a NullPointer is different to a
"pointer to a Null".
