I've got a form with a date field. This date field needs to be converted to an OLE Date, and I've got a nice little conversion program that does that, which I call as a function. However, as soon as I define a function within a form method and try to close the method I get the following message:

"Methods and Events cannot contain nested procedures or class definitions."

So, I made another method with my conversion function...but then I also found that I have a leapyear function within the conversion function....and before adding another method to the form, I began thinking, maybe this isn't a "best practice".

So, what are my options?

1. I can place the function as .prg file in my source folder for the project
or
2. I can define new methods for the form, till the cows come home.

or ???

Since this is a single purpose thing, I'd really like to keep it with the form (maybe even with the field).

any ideas here?

thanks... Larry
