Hello,

I am making a program which reads and writes data from an Access 97
database.  There are some a couple of string fields that my program reads
and writes to.  These fields update properly when I enter a non-zero length
string into them.  When I enter a zero length string in one of them and call
TTable::Post(), I get a EDBEngineError exception.  The error message reads:

    General SQL error.
    Field 'Terminal.TermShortDescription' can't be a zero-length string.
    Table

Any ideas about why this is happening?

Thanks,

Robert Wheadon
