Description: [Microsoft][ODBC Microsoft Access Driver] Field 'Table Name. Field Name' cannot be a zero-length string.

Source: Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC Drivers

One or more form fields were empty. You should provide default values for all form fields that are used in the query.

where Table Name is the table in the database, and Field Name is the field in the database.

CAUSE

This problem can occur if you attempt to update a database record that has an empty field. The setting for the database column does not allow zero-length entries.

RESOLUTION

To resolve this issue, make sure that all data fields that do not allow zero-length entries are populated before you submit the form.

WORKAROUND

To work around this issue, start Microsoft Access and then open the database table in Design view. Set the Allow Zero Length attribute to Yes for each field that you want to allow blank entries.
