>I am using SQL server so all my dates get returned as datetime values. I am only interested in the date portion. For forms, I have created a class that handles this well - puts the TTOD() value in the textbox at refresh and updates the datetime field in valid() - works fine. HOWEVER - I am struggling with how to handle this in a grid. My class won't display anything there.

If I set column source to TTOD(myfield), the column becomes read-only - if I set the column to myfield and the individual textbox to TTOD(myfield), I still get the whole darn datetime value in the box! How are others handling this? what's the secret?

Why not put a textbox in the as the control, and play around a bit. Create a custom property of the textbox, a date property, Have that property updated with the TTOD() of the field specified in the Column's ControlSource as apprpriate. Let the user edit in the property, and in the valid, write the DTOT() of the property back to the field.
