Hi Karen, I did with two fields - storing a date and a date resolution.
The values could be: date / resolution - display value 1984-12-31 / Exact Date - 31st December 1984 1984-12-01 / Month - December 1984 1984-01-01 / Year - 1984 So I just used the first of the month where unknown, and January where unknown. I then had a method on the model object to return the format based on the stored date and the resolution. It worked for what I needed it for, Tim. > Hello, > > I'm designing a model which is a collection of texts.
