Access Tip -  Search for fields with no data

It's not uncommon for a field to have no data. A user may have skipped the field or left it blank because there was no value for the field at the record's time of entry. For example, phone numbers may be missing for some prospects in your Prospect table.

 To find all prospects whose phone number field contains no data, follow these steps:

  1. Create a query using the Prospect table.
  2. Select the Name and Phone Number fields from the Prospect table for the query.
  3. Enter Null in the Criteria cell of the Phone Number field. (Access automatically replaces the entry with Is Null.)

When you run the query, the results will list all prospects whose phone numbers are missing.
