1.First of all if you have not set that DateTime field's allow null property,set it to allow null,so that it accepts null.
2.Then in your UI code dont pass the parameter if Date is not entered in Textbox.
3.Then in your code for passing parameter value check if the parameter value is null the pass that parameter's value as as DBNull.Value.

Update code lines with [patients-2015] where you have written table name. For example below,
sSQL = "INSERT INTO [patients-2015] ( first_name, last_name, gender, phone_number, age, address, height, standing_bp, heart_rate, notes, reffered, disease, sub_diseases, registered_date, updated_date, prescribed_medicines)"
So you need to apply this change - everywhere in the code where you have written table name without [ ].
Hope this will solve your error.

But update is not working. Any ideas?
With OleDB you can't use named parameters. You have to use ? as a placeholder and the order of the parameters is significant.

If you want to store null values, you have to use conditional logic in your vb code to either not send those parameters to your stored procedure, or send a value of dbnull. Even your char fields are storing empty strings, which might not be your intent.
Use
If (Not String.IsNullOrEmpty(txtPurchaseDate.Text)) Then
cmd.Parameters("#OE_PurchaseDate").Value = txtPurchaseDate.Text
End If
Why not use DateTimePicker for your PurchaseDate instead of a textbox in txtPurchaseDate.Text you could name your control dtpPurchaseDate then you have:
cmd.Parameters("#OE_PurchaseDate").Value = dtpPurchaseDate.Value
The Default Value (or the Minimum Value) for DateTime Picker is 1/1/1980 so you could initialize the value of dtpPurchaseDate to 1/1/1980 like:
dtpPurchaseDate = System.DateTime.Parse("1/1/1980")
So, which means by the way when stored in your database it has the value of 1/1/1980 and not NULL.
If you want to purse with the Textbox then you could check if empty then assign a minimum date value which is actually 1/1/0001 like this:
If (If (String.IsNullOrEmpty(txtPurchaseDate.Text)) Then
cmd.Parameters("#OE_PurchaseDate").Value = DBNull.Value
Else
Dim tempPurchaseDate as DateTime
System.DateTime.TryParse(txtPurchaseDate.Text, tempPurchaseDate)
cmd.Parameters("#OE_PurchaseDate").Value = tempPurchaseDate
End If
But again it has a stored value in your database as 1/1/0001
You could display it empty in your TextBox like:
Given you have a DataRow named dr
If (dr["OE_PurchaseDate"] = System.DateTime.Parse("1/1/0001")) Then
txtPurchaseDate.Text = ""
Else
txtPurchaseDate.Text = dr["OE_PurchaseDate"]
End If

My insert and update stored procedures are working when there is no null values, but how about when I need to make some columns really null values?
I'm using SQL Server stored procedures in vb.net 2003
Any suggestions about codes example
You can use DBNull.Value as the parameter to your stored procedure. Ensure that your table allows null value for the fields.
For example if you wanted OE_Brand to be null you can do:
cmd.Parameters("#OE_Brand").Value = DBNull.Value
Setting it to Nothing will suppress the parameter. Use DBNull.Value instead:
cmd.Parameters("#OE_Remarks").Value = DBNull.Value

"false" text being inserted into my database

I have an insert statement with a number of DataGridViewComboBoxColumns. When I try and insert the values of these DataGridViewComboBoxColumns into my database the text "False" is being inserted into the fields.
Why is this happening?

You are storing if something is selected.
para.Value = company.Selected.ToString
Selected is a boolean!
I'm not certain on what you are trying to achieve here, but I don't think this script will work how you wish. You're not building a list of parameters with values, but replacing one parameter object over and over.
para.ParameterName = "#company"
para.Value = company.Selected.ToString
para.ParameterName = "#division"
para.Value = division.Selected.ToString
This will just first set the para object to be #company, and value: company.Selected.ToString, then set it again to be #division and value: division.Selected.ToString.
Your datatypes are all NVarChar and you are explicitly setting your boolean values to a string (.ToString()).
If you wish to store boolean values, change your data types to bit. Then change your values so you are passing the boolean value, not an explicitly converted boolean to string:
myCommand.Parameters.Add("#currency", SqlDbType.bit).Value = currency.Selected
company.selected returns true if the item is selected, and false if not...
You probably want to use company.ToString
