jfrankland -> Syntax error converting datetime from character string. (9/7/2006 12:54:23)

Hello:

I have an ASP form that pulls data from a SQL server 2000 table. This form is used to update the record by changing the fields on the form and then posting it back to the SQL server using an update string. If I pull a record that has a <Null> value in a datetime field and I attempt to save or post the changes to the form I get:

Error Type:
Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC Drivers (0x80040E07)
[Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL Server]Syntax error converting datetime from character string.
/gis/Devstat/AppEditStep3Post.asp, line 63


I trimmed down the SQL string to find exactly where the problem is. Apparently if I attempt to write back or update the record with the pulled <Null> value from a field called Date_Stamped that is where the hickup is. Does anyone have any ideas on how to correct this? If I take the string from the reponse.write directly into the SQL Query Analyzer is works fine. Does the forms text box cause the problem? Below is my code and response.write string:

conntemp1.Open Application("GMTEST_ConnectionString")

Here's the response.write from the above string:

the record with the pulled <Null> value from a field called Date_Stamped


Are you sure you're pulling a Null from the field and are you sure that string worked in QA?

A form's text field will *not* provide a Null value but rather an empty string. They are not the same. If you're sending an empty string to a Date?Time field, that will cause problems as you already know.

I usually will test for a blank. If blank, send a Null and not an empty string as in:

...

If trim(request.form("myDateFormField")&"") = "" THEN
myDateValToUse = "Null"
ELSE
myDateValToUse = "'" & trim(request.form("myDateFormField")&"") & "'"

and then in your SQL, use it this way:

mySQL = "UPDATE myTable SET myDateField=" & myDateValToUse & ", myTextField = .....

....



That help any?

Let me give that a whirl and I'll let you know. THANKS AGAIN!
