Try something like:

UPDATE MyTable

Didn't test this, but the suggestion is to set a field to NULL using an assignment. I believe this is the only situation where you can use "= NULL
" in SQL.

I apologize, this is my first attempt at trying to ask a question to the ACFUG and I just replied to an email that I received.


Is the column set to allow nulls? If not, that's your issue.

Yes, it is set to accept nulls.  The issue is the form passes a "" and when it tries to update a smalldate and a money field in the table it throws and error.  I put the SQL statement generated in the CF error into Enterprise Manager and dissected it field by field. The error that I get from Enterprise Manager  is invalid data type or length.
