i was using ms access as my database where my default value for coloum was "" empty string . now i have shifted to sql 2008 where i cannot put empty sting as default value in the same manner as in access i.e "" . here i have to put either '' or " " ie with space within quotes. this value is treated different from "" value. for eg in statement like

if flexgrid.TextMatrix(1, 1)="" then

How can i set empty string in sql so that value is same as access.

thanks

Your problem lies within your database table in Sql. When the database was created, you have selected that a value MUST be added into the field, hence your error. Edit the specific field in the table to accept null strings.

Did you change the field property in your table to accept a null string? If so, did you specify in your code that the string must NOT be null, hence the error.
