Is there any way to get the MS DatePicker to accept a blank date?

Symptoms
When a Date and Time Picker ActiveX control is added to a form, its ControlSource set to a date field, and the record pointer moved to a record that contains a blank value in the date field, the following error message appears:

OLE IDispatch exception code 0 from DTPicker: A date was specified that does not fall within the MinDate and MaxDate Properties...

You may want to try using the calendar control instead. That one supports empty dates.
