How to set default date in SQL to

somthing other than 1/1/1900? I use Visual Studio.NET and Aspx.
Even if I pass a system.dbnull.value to the table, it keeps showing
a default date of the above. I want to end-up with a <NULL> for the
date entry from my code when a user deletes a date from my
aspx page.

Thanks,You can mix something from:

use a DEFAULT constraint to your date column
use NULLIF() function with an out-of-range date
use ISNULL() function with an out-of-range date
and check that your table supports NULLs in your date column

we also have problems passing nulls via VB6 (must be variants).

Cesar.|||Thanks Cesar,

I saw a KB on Microsoft saying that functionality is a bug but don't see
they fixed it. I will give the ole variant a try. Thanks again.
