I'm using Access 2000 and the "Required" field property was set to "No".

Dim dDTCDate As Variant

If chkDTCDate Then 'if required a date
'dtpDTCDate is a Date Picker control, this
dDTCDate = "#" & dtpDTCDate.Value & "#"
Else
''**problem lie here, I didn't put a quote as "Null"
dDTCDate = Null
End If

cnn1.Execute "INSERT INTO CustVisit(IndexNo, DTCDate) " & _
"VALUES('" & dcIndexNo & "'," & dDTCDate & ")"

It is OK now, thank you very much.
Another question, is it alright to declare the "dDTCDate" variable
as a "Variant"? Or should I declare as a "String"? Thanks.
