Problem - Zeros inserted automatically into database

Hi all,

 

I created a survey along with a database which is storing the results. I have tested my survey and code and it appears to work no problem. If someone leaves a null field I just store it in the database as is (I had to rush to put it together and send it out - deadlines you know)...

 

Anyway I have received a few responses which are just zeros even for my drop-down fields! It doesn't replace all the fields, but replaces the majority. If they didn't put in a value or select something it should be set to the default or leave a blank space.

 

Does anyone know what would cause something like this?

Are these numeric data type columns? If they are, then there is no such thing as "blank." It can be a zero, and it can be NULL, but no blanks. So, you just need to check to see if it is empty/blank/zero and replace each of them with NULL.
