A longstanding problem I've had in using <cf_reuseform> (presently, with MS 
Access 2000) is that when I have an optional Date field that is empty at 
time of the data INSERT/UPDATE I get a "Data Type Mismatch" error. As long 
as a date was entered into the form, everything's hunky-dory. It's only 
when the field is submitted empty that the error occurs.

I've checked to make sure the field is not required by the Access table. In 
fact, I can manually enter new records directly in the table and leave the 
field empty without having Access generate an error.

I've tried using '#dateFormat()#', strings, numeric, formats in the 
act_saveForm template, all to no avail. After thinking for the last year or 
so that I would solve the problem on my own, it's now driving me crazy. I 
need the fields to be Null, so setting a default value is not an option.

Anybody else ever run into this behavior?
