I am trying to delete a date entry from a form during update using a SQL string. The text says to use an "Empty Value" but never show how to code it. My code works if the field is alreay empty but it will not delete what is already in the field.

strSQL = "UPDATE ServiceRecords SET "

If Request.Form("completed") <> "" Then strSQL = strSQL & "completed = #" & CDate(Replace(Request.Form("completed"), "'", "''")) & "#, "

If Request.Form("serviceda") <> "" Then strSQL = strSQL & "serviceda = #" & CDate(Replace(Request.Form("serviceda"), "'", "''")) & "#, "

strSQL = strSQL & "client = '" & CStr(Replace(Request.Form("client"), "'", "''")) & "', " _
            & "tech = '" & CStr(Replace(Request.Form("tech"), "'", "''")) & "', " _
    ("parts"), "'", "''")) & "', " _
        & "comments = '" & CStr(Replace(Request.Form("comments"), "'", "''")) & "' " _
            & "WHERE (ID = " & iRecordId & ")"

marmer,

Your 'if' statement only deals with the situation when the completed and serviceda variable have something in them if they are empty ("") then your code says not to not update those fields. Use an 'if else' to provide the alternative value for the fields when the form fields are blank.

Also it appears that there is some code missing before the ("parts") section of code, probably the replace and request.form.
