dude, you already answered this question yourself on the newsgroup several
days ago.

right here is your problem. you cut and pasted, and forgot to update it, so
you're setting fieldptr_datetime_date when you really mean to set
fieldptr_datetime_time. you later use fieldptr_datetime_time but it's
uninitialized. that's very easy to discover if you step thru your code in a
debugger. (my mantra: use debugger, use debugger, use debugger...).

and as pointed out in previous e-mails on this newsgroup, you're missing
FldDrawField here, so it won't update anyway.
