    Error in SQL statement???

    Hello all, thank you for taking the time to review my quick problem.

    I have a button with one simple line of code. Here is a piece of my table structure (I didn't screen shot all the other fields to the right for simplicity sake).

Name:	table.jpg 
Views:	13 
Size:	83.8 KB

    When I press the button, Access complains about that one line of code, producing this error:

    Is there something wrong with my syntax?
    In case you're wondering, it doesn't matter whether I set ShipmentFK to 5 or 9999 or any other number. Or Null. There is no forced "Referential Integrity" in the relationships pane or anything cute.

    The crazy part is that I know this code has worked for years... since 2015 I've been running this program and it worked. So when it stopped working at my office and coworkers started complaining, I came home and loaded up a 1 year + old copy. To my shock, this error is still produced on the old copy. Surely we've ran this code many countless times since then and it's always worked.

    Is there a workaround you can think of?
    My goal is to simply change the value of ShipmentFK to Null.
    Yes, I acknowledge that the picture of the table shows a Null value in ShipmentFK already, but in practice it always has a value in it and it still errors.



    Any ideas?
    Thank you so much for any insight,
    Matt

    I think that will only work with O365. Perpetual versions will need to uninstall the offending update or run the fix as it becomes available. Here's a link to all the versions:

    If you notice in the image, it's Office Professional Plus 2016. Installed on my machine. Not Office 365.
    Fixed the problem right off.

    Forgive my poor terminology. Your specific version wasn't relevant to the point I was trying to make, which was that the solution that worked for you will not work for everybody.
