Inserting empty date in Date field Access
I am using PHP and a Access database via ODBC.
I need to insert/update a Date field so that it has no value.

The "Required" setting has already been set to "No" in Access.

I could not find info on this anywhere, is this possible?

You could just set it to a date like 01/01/1900 and when you query the table instead of calling the field name 'select date from' do ' select iif(date=#01/01/1900#,,date) from '
