Is there a way to compare a date field to blank/nulls/spaces? Say I want a list of records where the "end-date" is blank.

thanks

Use a record selection formula such as:
-------------------------
IsNull({Your_Date_Field})
-------------------------

For blanks you could use ToText({Your_Date_Field}) = "" though your DB may not allow spaces in date fields.

If your CR is set to change NULLs to default values, I was given this formula in this forum that works Length(ToText({Your_Date_Field}) < 2).
