if(string == string.Empty())
parm.value = null;

Did you try "System.DBNull. Value"?

I am trying to get my head around the concept of default, special or empty values that appear in Access VBA, depending on data type. The Access Help is not much (help), and the manual that I have is not much help here either. Googling has given me a little help. This is my current understanding -- I would appreciate any comments or corrections... "" -- this means an empty string when applied to String data type, and also to Variant...

Null as it relates to database development is one of life's little mysteries and a topic of total confusion for novices who venture out into the database world. A Null Value is not zero (0), a zero (0) length string, an empty Field, or no value at all - so exactly what is Null? The purpose of this Topic is hopefully to explain what a Null Value is, discuss some peculiarities about Nulls, show how we can detect them, and finally, how to convert...

I have a form that is used to ID and then load Excel files into Access. I use labels on the form to record which file was last loaded. That was accomplished with a simple lblFileLoaded = strFullFileName. The label would show the file name and when the form was closed and then opened it would still show the name of the last file loaded. That preserves an important piece of information. Suddenly the form has stopped doing that. When you...

Hi all, I'm having an issue that's driving me crazy. I have a datatable that I need to display all the information for on a page. So, instead of manually coding every single column to a label, I decided it would be easier and safer to use a formview to display it all, bound to an objectdatasource. Sounds simple enough. The problem is that many of my fields could potentially have null values, which produces an error similar to the...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. 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,...
