Kevin,

I use a date class with both a text (KD) field and a calendar pops-up if they click on an icon.
If they use the pop-up it refreshes the text control with the date chosen.

>Tks. That took care of the first part.

I use something I got from somewhere (?? I thought it was UT) called calendar.vcx. In the downloads in UT there is something called datepick.zip that people seem to like.
