<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I tried inserting Null and it didn't seem to work
-- but let me try again! ;) I want to avoid changing the actual structure,
because some records will have a date, some won't -- but that is an option I've
considered, but am hoping to avoid if possible. Thanks!</FONT></DIV>

<DIV> Let the table T_Books consist of fields Author(text),
Title(text) and RefDate(date type). Both the following statements will append
a record having Null value in the date field -</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV> (a) If default value of RefDate is not Null -</DIV>
<DIV> DoCmd.RunSQL "INSERT INTO
T_Books " & _<BR>
"(Author, Title, RefDate) " & _</DIV>
<DIV>
"Values('AAA', 'TTT' , Null) ;"</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV> (b) If default value of RefDate is already set as Null
- </DIV>
<DIV> DoCmd.RunSQL "INSERT
INTO T_Books " & _<BR>
"(Author, Title) " & _</DIV>
<DIV>
<DIV>
"Values('AAA', 'TTT') ;"</DIV>
