>How do I Init a char or date combo/textbox to blank w/out putting a zero in it?
This.Value = {} && those are braces for a blank date
This.Value = "" && initializes to a character data type
This.value = 0 && initializes to a numeric data type
You can also set the Value property of the control to these values as well.
