>>>In one of our projects that deals with scheduling, there is some difficulty in ascertaining the best way to deal with time. If we use a datetime field, we have to deal with an interface which forces the user to enter a space before he can enter the time. If we separate out the date and time fields now we have to all the time math ourselves, which forces to build our own time text control.

I would have bunch of textboxes (probably as members of container). When it comes to refresh interface it will collect data from the datetime field:
With Thisform.cntDatetime
.txtDate.value=TTOD(mytable.myfield)
.txtHour.value=HOUR(mytable.myfield)
.txtMinutes.value=MINUTE(mytable.myfield)
.txtSeconds.value=SEC(mytable.myfield)
Endwith
When you're ready to save a record, you validate the Values, concatenate Date+Time string ans save CTOT() to the field.
