To set the value as NULL, he will have to do that from a stored procedure or use BlueDragon v7.x to have the null data type.

Validate the data coming in. If the data passed in is """", set it to NULL instead.

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.
