    What error did you get?

    Is the field (column) Nullable? That mean does it allow null value for that field (column).

    Can you post your SQL? (Right click on the query tab and select "SQL View")

    Blank ("") and Null are different. To find blank use criteria (""). To find Null use criteria ("Is Null", without quotes)
