veronica, combo and listbox support only character or numeric data types as controlsource. But you may not use the contolsource property, say you have combo.RowSourceType 3 -SQL Statement and RowSource is:

select dtoc(birth_date) from employee into cursor cdate

Then in combo.Valid you have:

REPLACE sometable.somedate WITH CTOD(this.value)
