Pulling data from PDF to Access DB using GetField: check if drop down is populated-mismatch error

[MelForsyth]

I am using VBA to extract data from a PDF into my access database.  For part of this I need to check if a drop down has been populated before continuing with the rest of the script.  

This line works fine in my database that has an access backend:

If jso.getField("Room10").Value <> " " Then

But when I test in my database that has an SQL backend I get a data mismatch error.  I am unsure if it is the backend that is causing the issue but thought I'd mention it just in case. 

Below is how my script is set up.  It checks each row in a table to see if it is populated.  If the first drop down in that row is not populated then it goes down to the next row until it reaches the last row in the table.

It may just be that my If statment is incorrect but I have tested many options for this and found this one to work on my local machine.
