Hiiiiii, thanks a lot for wonderful explanation from all of you.
I could convience my user on the date which is the first date of the calender and as of today they have agreed. Anyway in future if they ask about the original acquistion date, I will create a new filed in table and in the form; thats it... Thanks a lottttt for all of you.. I think, all of us might have faced the problem of "Original acquistion date" which is actually we are loosing those who are uploading from old system to Axapta. I feel Microsoft can release a permanent patch on this...
