>Visual FoxPro provides quite reasonable controls for handling dates. However it does not really handle combined Date/Time values well. The DateTime data type is fine, but the only way to enter, or update date time values is with a standard textbox. This is not very easy to manage and so Andy and Marcia are investigating the use of custom classes to make entering and updating time values simpler for their users.

I found we had a subscription till Septemeber 2006. We may also renew now. Do you remember something on the topic in the older issues?

Thanks again.
