Then I remove the control source and set the value to the TTOD(This.cControlSource). Whenever the control loses focus, I have to do the dance again to update the date/time value. (Guest it was a three-set dance :)


That's what I thought you might be doing, just wondered if you'd come up with a better idea.

Kinda, but maybe it's harder than I think it is. I was sure frustrated when I found I couldn't do it! They'd probably have to copy the cursor to another one, like I do when I use the ttod() function.
