Hi,
I was trying to blank out (null out?) a field of a record that is a
date/time data type. Here is code excerpt:
Dim D As Database
Dim rsRacks As Recordset
Dim strSQL As String
strSQL = "SELECT Racks.* FROM Racks WHERE (((Racks.[RL-Serial])= "
& RackSerial & "));"
Set D = CurrentDb
Set rsRacks = D.OpenRecordset (strSQL, DB_OPEN_DYNASET )
If rsRacks.RecordC ount > 0 Then
rsRacks.Edit
rsRacks![DateShipped] = ""
rsRacks![TimeShipped] = ""
Else
rsRacks.AddNew
rsRacks![RL-Serial] = RackSerial
End If
rsRacks.Update
rsRacks.Close
This code gets a type conversion error. The problem lines is where the
DateShipped and TimeShipped are set to "". I also tried "##". Does
anyone have any ideas?
Thanks in advance,
Aaron

Try using Null. Of course, that will only work if the field is marked as not
being required.
If is required, Date fields are actually numbers (8 byte floating point
numbers, where the integer part represents the date as the number of days
related to 30 Dec, 1899, and the decimal part represents the time as a
fraction of a day). You'd have to set the fields to a numeric value,
preferably one that can't occur naturally!

I have a field type Date/Time that automatically defaults to Now().
I'm having a problem writing a query that will retrieve all the
records for a specific date the user to enters when prompted. I could
retrieve all the records for a specific date if I hard-code the date
into the query, but not if I want to prompt the user. Has anybody
else experienced this? Does anybody have any suggestions?

I have a query, which gathers up information, which is subsequently dumped
into an instance of Excel using recordsetcopy.
For one of the query fields, I have written what should be a pretty simple
little function with three arguments, a switch (integer) and 2 date fields.
For certain values of the switch, I use one date field, for others, the
other date field, and for switch values which are neither, I need to return
a blank.

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
