Linda,

>I still can't get blank dates to save back to FoxPro. I tried setting the text box value to DBNull.Value in the after text changed method but get an error that it is an invalid string value. I tried setting the text box value to DBNull.Value.ToString() in the after text changed method of the field. I still get the same error "String is not recognized as a valid datetime". I also tried tried each of those options in the click method of my save button right before the call to the business object's saverow method.

>It looks like the Mere Mortals validation requires a non-blank value for all datetime fields. I'm at a loss as to what to do other than making my FoxPro fields string fields, which I don't want to do because I want do do calculations with the dates and don't want to have to do a conversion each time.

Again, I'll work directly with you on this one and we'll post the resolution here later on.

Best Regards,
