>>>>>>I would like to have a view parameter that works like a logical, but uses a date field. I have a date field that is either empty or has some value.

If you define the view in code you can put in the WHERE clause

empty(date) = glempty_or_not

and set glempty_or_not to .T. or .F. depending on what the user wants
