If a field is of type DateTime, empty(FieldName) works, at least it does for me in VFP 5. Or are you trying to test the value of a textbox? There is a function, TTOC(), to convert a date-time to character. And a CTOC() function to convert from character to Date-Time. These should help. And yes, T is type for DateTime fields.
