I want to insert a csv file in an access database.For some numeric
fields I am geting missing values in csv file.How can I insert a
missing value in the access.I do not want to insert 0(zero) and it is
not allowing me to save ' ' ( which becomes string).

Any quick code /solution??

Well numeric values run from - infinity to zero to + infinity. Take you
choice.

I suspect you want to use null. so the value will be blank, but not
zero. Is that correct?
 
You are correct.I want to insert null .How?

You can try using an update query where the value is "Null" no quotes.

Be sure to try this on a copy first and make sure you have a select
query so it does not null all your data.
