Form Update Issue in Dreamweaver

Question

Hi there, I have created an update form using Dreamweaver and
an Access database.
When you load the update form. Some of the text fields are
empty.
If you do not enter something in one of these fields and hit
the update button. You get the following error.
Microsoft JET Database Engine error '80004005'
Field 'tblSuppliers.Facsimile' cannot be a zero-length
string.
/html/advertiser-premier-details.asp, line 153
Can anyone suggest a way around this?
Thanks.
Mally.

Answer 1

I just realised that the cell property in the Access database
was set as a 'numeric' file and also the "Allow Zero Length"
property was set to "No". With that the form update recordset in
Dreamweaver was also set to numeric. I have changed them both to
'text' and it seems to be working fine. Now that this is working,
we get the following error message.
Microsoft JET Database Engine error '80004005'
Type mismatch in expression.
/html/results-wholesale.asp, line 67

Dim rsSearchResult
Dim rsSearchResult_numRows
Set rsSearchResult = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Recordset")
rsSearchResult.ActiveConnection = MM_connSeek_STRING
rsSearchResult.Source = "SELECT SupplierName, Location,
ShortDescription, TimberSpecies, CategoryTitle, Country FROM Query1
WHERE TimberSpecies LIKE '%" + Replace(rsSearchResult__MMColParam,
"'", "''") + "%' AND CategoryTitle LIKE '%" +
Replace(rsSearchResult__MMColParam2, "'", "''") + "%' AND Location
LIKE '%" + Replace(rsSearchResult__MMColParam3, "'", "''") + "%'
AND BusinessType LIKE '%" + Replace(rsSearchResult__MMColParam4,
"'", "''") + "%' ORDER BY SupplierName"
rsSearchResult.CursorType = 0
rsSearchResult.CursorLocation = 2
rsSearchResult.LockType = 1
rsSearchResult.Open() <------------------- Line 67

Can anyone suggest why this is happening or what I should do?
Thanks
