Those OLE controls have a value property of type datetime.
m_datetime = thisform.olecontrol1.value
fails for "value" is messed up with VFP value keyword. Object keyword resolves the conflict.
m_datetime = thisform.olecontrol1.Object.value

Also you might use its year, month, day etc properties to set&get datetime.
