I tried to duplicate your problem and failed. Are you sure that both textboxes have datetime controlsources? What version of VFP are you running?
>I have two DateTime text Boxes on a form. They both have the exact properties(except for name, caption and positioning). They are both linked to a DateTime field in a table and both have the format property set to “D”. When doing data entry, the first one to get the focus works OK, but the second one only allows me to enter the month/day/year and skips over the time portion of the entry defaulting to 12:00 AM. If I switch the tab order, again only the second one has the problem. Go figure :~)
