set strictdate to 0 LOCAL lcControl lcControl = THIS.PARENT.icDataControl IF !EMPTY(THIS.Caption) &lcControl = DTOT(CTOD(SUBSTR; (DTOS(THIS.PARENT.idCurrentMonth),5,2)+"."+; THIS.Caption+"."+LEFT(DTOS(THIS.PARENT.idCurrentMonth),4))) ELSE &lcControl = DTOT({}) ENDIF THIS.PARENT.Release()My form field that is expecting the return result is coming up with nothing because I have 'set century on' and 'set date to ansi'.
