* Inserting NULL with pgaccess

Using pgaccess:
 
Is there a way of getting field value back to NULL
once you have typed something into it?
Simply erasing with backspace doesn't change it
back and ESCape can't help, and you can't delete record as
it has no oid, yet.

Regards,

Ivo.

Type the word "null" in the field.

Cheers!

Being curious enough I have followed your instruction even
though it raises new questions like "how you enter word null as
data..." :-)) and guess what - I got an error "bad date 
external representation 'null' " (of course).

Next one please. :-))

Hmmm.... This was a patch I submitted long ago to Contantin. I guess it fell
through a crack. I'll dig it up for you.

Well the changes were put in on 4/29/1999 and it works fine for me. It will
however fail as you described if you included the quote marks.
