What values should I use to validate an empy field
I open my database this way:
dim b as Database
dim t as recorset
set b=opendatabase(app.path & "\data.mdb")
set b=b.openrecordset("table1"
t.movefirst
'<<<<Here is my problem>>>
if t.fields("name")="" then msgbox "Empty"
...
When the field "name" is empty it should shows me a msgbox but it doesnt, I already try using instead changing "" to Null but no result.
Why is this happening?

jchopde's suggestion is what I use to work with nulls. Nulls are just a hassle to work with. So you will need to always append a double quote ("") to the variable or field before testing it. Best of luck.
Thanks for the points and Grade
