How to make a date/time field a "null value"

547 Contributor
Is there a way of making a Date/time field in a table a "null value"?
I would like to have "long time" as a null value.
05/12/2010 12:38:31 PM.
Reason - to add up all the fields with "null values" in a query.
In simple queries Nz works, but it becomes complicated after that.

If you use "0" as a default value in a number or text field it stays "0".
pls help

Simply deleting the value results in the field being Null. The default is also set as Null if there is no entry in the Default Value property.

I'm running into a situation that has me adding a value of "Unknown" to a reference table. I am being pulled between two trains of thought, and was curious to get other's input on in. I give an example below. 1-) Adding "Unknown" to a reference table is bad. Doing so effectively changes the Nullability option of every FK that references the table to a NULLable FK relation. 2-) Simply adding a "Not Known/Undetermined" value to the...

Hi, I am retrieving my DB values and setting them in the MyRS::DoFieldExchange(CFieldExchange* pFX) function. One of these records is a Long datatype and could be "Null" in the DB table. The issue is when the DB value is retrieved it is fine for all integers but for a "Null" value it returns a junk long value and not a pre-defined value, say.

Hi everyone, I have a form with several fields. One represents the primary key. If you leave it blank and try to save the record, the forms displays the following error message - "Index or Primary Key cannot contain a null value". I understand why it is doing this, but I'm wondering if I can program a friendlier message. Any help would be great. Many Thanks!

Just when I thought I was getting my head around Null values.... I have a report with three sub-reports, on each sub-report footer I count how many records in the subreport. No problemo. On the Detail section of the main report, I have a text box which adds up all these counts and shows how many (people) in total. Again, no problems... as long as there is at least one entry in each sub-report. Ahh thinks I, I must trap for null values....

In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
