i am having a problem with this piece of code,
it is linking do a foxpro database but in this particular
table there are about 18 fields. i only want to update these
particular ones but i am getting an error saying that
a field cannot be blank. the last line is one work around but
i do not want to have 10 or so lines like the last every time
i want to add to the table
Cheers and thanks in advance

P.S. it connects alright it is just the blank entries in the table
the exact error message is
