Good going, Chris!! I guess my head wasn't screwed on correctly this afternoon ... dunno how I missed this (I know I knew it, just didn't remember it)! You may give Kevin and I 50 lashes!! <g>

>>I've been talking to Bonnie on this one, because I didn't have an answer beyond a workaround. We were curious what the variable was being used for, since you mentioned you're using some type of grid. However, if you're using a datetime picker, then that might affect what you do, since a datetime picker can't use a null date.

>>If either bonnie or myself comes up with something better, we'll post something, but for now, using a fake date is all we can really think of.
