That's what you have to do. Most "real" databases (and Access pretends to be a "real" database) do not accept empty dates. Dates (or datetimes) have a value or they are null.

If the database will not accept null, you must supply a populated date.

This is one place where Foxpro data is fundamentally incompatible with every other database system. VFP is the only place where EMPTY() is a valid value for a date or datetime field.

If you can't pass null, you have to provide a valid date value.

>>Not sure about EMPTY DateTime fields in ACCESS also, but maybe in ACCESS that field is not NULLable and when you send back a NULL in that field you got errors. What happens if you put: DATE(1900,1,1) in your RV instead of empty date or NULL?
