    buycarz - 2005-04-26

    I used dbTools to do a DAO import into MySQL of a Microsoft Access database.  It creates a datetime column that I change to date, because I don't think a datetime field works with dbforms.

    Some of the rows have null values in this date column.  This is not a mistake, the values were null in MS-Access and I want them to be null in MySQL.

    It seems that unless I delete the rows containing the null date values, dbforms will not work.  How do I make nulls in a date field scceptable for dbForms?

    Thanks.

      I found out that using dbTools to import data from MS-Access to MySQL somehow locked-up MySQL such that dbFOrms could not access the tables.  As soon as I shutdown and restarted MySQL, the problem disappeared, as well as many other problems I've been having.

      I hope that this experience helps someone else.
