You can pass the unquoted string NULL, as well.

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.
