I have had a look into the database structure, I was an ms access database support person for 15 years, and there appears no difference as to how dates for user defined events and built in events are stored. I cannot examine the process which takes the data and uses it though as that is part of the Legacy 8 coding.
I suggest if you can create a small test database that shows the problem it is submitted to support using the bug reporting procedure.

I even tried “Not Equal To *” but still any date with a text prefix is seemingly recognized by Legacy as a Null entry. And once again, this happens only with User Defined Events. The regular built-in events handle a search for an empty date field with no problems.
