I have a text box that records a date. If the user enters a date in
the text box, and click on save, the date will be saved in the SQL
table, but if the user does not enter a date in this field and then
clicks save, I reveive the following message:
Cast from string "" to type 'Date' is not valid

The DateTime field in my table has Allow Nulls set to true. How can I
prevent this error from occuring if the user decides not to enter in a
date into the textbox when saving arecord?

Thanks,
C.R.
 
You have to set the value to DBNull.Value instead of '

I tried using the following code when saving a record but I received
this error message: "Cast from string "" to type 'Date' is not valid"

If eProposalReceived.Text.Trim = "" Then
Row.Item("ProposalReceived") = DBNull.Value
End If

Am I doing something wrong?

Thanks,
