Once a date has been saved to the database, there's no way to put it back to NULL (as I think I mentioned earlier, this is a conscious decision on our part that NULL means "never been entered")Why not use NULL to mean "absence of value" and use logs to determine whether this (or any other) field has been entered? If the answer is that "these things happened a long time ago and it can be made to work" that's fine and I'm not criticizing, I'm just trying to identify a plan for a VFP person considering a move to NET today.
"... They ne'er cared for us
yet: suffer us to famish, and their store-houses
crammed with grain; make edicts for usury, to
support usurers; repeal daily any wholesome act
established against the rich, and provide more
piercing statutes daily, to chain up and restrain
the poor. If the wars eat us not up, they will; and
there's all the love they bear us."
-- Shakespeare: Coriolanus, Act 1, scene 1
