Try

select id, name, IIF(EMPTY(date1), CAST(null AS D), date1) AS date1 from mytable WHERE id = myid ORDER BY id

>We have a foxpro dbf file that contains a date field 'date1'. We need to import this dbf to SQL Server using the OLEDB driver. Sometimes the date1 field contains a blank date. We need to convert blank date data into a null. But when we run the following code, any blank date comes back as the date '12/30/1899' instead of a NULL.
