Its actually a fix to a kludge we added when we ran into a problem
with MS Access supporting the NULL value for it. NULL is the correct
value for all databases now. I'll check the docs to see if it was
updated to reflect that.

You can use a simple query to update it:
Update Services Set TimeLeft = NULL Where TimeLeft = -9999
Although I thought it did, it doesn't look like 2.5 is respecting the
-9999. I thought it still did, and that is the main reason why there
wasn't a big note about it.
