I have 4 outlets, 1 GFCI, and 3 light switches on 1 circuit (everything within amp spec for the breaker). I get 120 volts to each receptacle....120 from hot to ground. GFCI is brand new, wired directly the same as one prior. Am I dropping a neutral in one of the receptacles in the circuit? before popping open the boxes, would the correct thing to do is to ohm out the outlets? as in test for continuity between neutral to ground. If there is continuity that means missing neutral at that receptacle?

Thanks
