Hey guys, I'm an intern building a database for a real estate company and need some serious help.  I'm trying to create a field (specifically a date field) that when a date is added to the field, it triggers the next set of tasks.

Currently I have selected:

Eviction Scheduled (date field) is 'not equal to' ""

It isn't accepting "" as a null value so first wondering what null is in Salesforce's language.

When that didn't work I tried to create a formula that triggered when any date beyond May 1st, 2009 was entered (and was true).  No luck there either.

This was the formula:

REOHQ__REOHQ_Eviction_Scheduled__c > DATE(2009,5,1)

If anyone has any advice, I would be greatly appreciative of some help.

Thank you,

Ross Johnson
