Just trying to avoid re-inventing the wheel. I have a record with an 8 character length that stores dates in YYYYMMDD format (Dtos() format) I have no say in the field definition.
In my form, I'd like the user to be able to input the date in a field with a "D" format code. I COULD write some init() and save() code to translate, but just wondering if there is some magic function/field/format/picture that I don't know about. Has to work both ways - change the incoming text "YYYYMMDD" string to a date, and save the date back to the field as dtos(user-date). Don't knock yourself out - If such a beastie doesn't leap to mind, I'll just do my work like I'm supposed to..... _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/[email protected] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
