   Do you have a rule or constraint that does not allow a null on that time column. If 
you don't have rules/constraints on the column then to insert a null try using the 
[Shift}+[F9]. This will set that field to a null

Subject: NULL in Date Field


I recently setup a table with times to be picked in a form with a choose
command.  That works well.   However, sometimes the time is unknown and
requires a blank entry, a NULL (-0-) would be fine but Rbase will allow
nothing but time values in a time field.  Even forcing a -0- into the
field doesn't work, Rbase converts it to 00:00 or 12:00 AM depending on
the time format.  This time field prints on my report so I can't have
any value when that value is unknown.

I will now proceed with changing the two time fields in the table to
TEXT in order to circumvent this but I thought I would submit it to the
list first and see if anyone can see around this corner.
