datepicker control 1

[foxfire]

Seems simple enough, I use the datepicker control, set the controlsource to a field in the table. When the form runs, it has the date from the table, I pick a new date, exit the form, the old date is still in the table. I've only tried this within a test form so I have not done any table buffering. How do I save the date picked?

Hi,
1. Have you bound the data field to the textbox. OR are you storing the value of the textbox to the field in the file when you quit.
2. If the DBF is opened in the DE, check the buffering provided. If there is buffering you have to suitably do the tableupdate()

For a great sample program (actually a form) using the DTPICKER control, go to

I set the controlsource of the control to the field in the table, I'm not useing a data environment, I just have a table open and have a test form open. I already read the article at Microsoft, it says use the value property but there is no value property, only individual properties for the day, month and year. I could put the date together myself, but it seems it should be easier than that. I don't understand why there is no value property.

I've used the Ole Calendar control, and just have someting like:

compldate = DATE(this.year, this.month, this.day)
this.refreshdisplay

in the click event . This isn't much code and can be encapsulated via subclassing if you want.
