I haven't tried this, but this might work.
1. Before you bring the form up, SET AUTOSKIP ON. I'm not
sure it works with a checkbox field but I'm assuming that this
would cause the person to leave the field and go to the next field
after clicking or un-clicking the field. If there is no actual field
that comes after this one, locate a dummy variable field and make
sure it comes after the checkbox field in the field order.
2. I would set up a form variable to trap the value of your check
box field, like vCheckbox = CheckBoxColumn.
3. Also, predefine a variable for your date column outside the
form: SET VAR vDate DATE = NULL, or SELECT datecolumn
INTO vDate WHERE ......
4. Set up another form variable: datecolumn = .vDate
5. In the form on hat "next" field, put an eep on entry into that field.
That eep would say something like:
IF vCheckbox = 'T' THEN
SET VAR vDate = .#Date
ELSE
SET VAR vDate = NULL
ENDIF
RECALC VAR
I'm thinking thta the RECALC VAR will cause the "datecolumn = .vDate"
expression to reevaluate and display on the screen.
