Q:

Query document for record with array value of null

I have a document like this:
{
    "_id" : "4mDYgt6gID",
    ...
    "MultipleChoiceQuestions" : [ 
        {
            ...
            "LeadInFile" : null,
            ...
        },
        {
            ...
            "LeadInFile" : 'some string',
            ...
        }
    ],
    ...
}

How do I query for any documents that have a non-null value in LeadInFile?
I'm trying different things, currently something like this
db.getCollection('QuizTime:Quizzes').find({"MultipleChoiceQuestions": [{ "LeadInFile": { $ne: null}}]});
Is returning 0 records.

A:

The current form of the query is saying: 

Find documents where MultipleChoiceQuestions is [{ "LeadInFile": { $ne: null}}]

Try using dot notation; this is used to access elements of an array or fields in an embedded document. For example: 
db.getCollection('QuizTime:Quizzes').find({
  "MultipleChoiceQuestions.LeadinFile" : { "$ne" : null }
})
