Hi,
I have a database in which fields are defined as real. any blank text box
submission is causing a zero to be stored in the database, This is
conflicting bcos, say if zero is actually to be stored. Is there a process
of overcoming this. I wanted to have a blank in the fields if I do not
enter any value. I am using ASP and SQL Server'2000.
Thanks,
Jay

Insert a NULL instead of what is being inserted by the user.
Cheers
Ken

why not check the length of the field either using Javascript on the client
side or ASP on the server side and act accordingly.
