Razzak,
Thanks for the variable form idea. I will give it a shot. Will probably
keep playing with some other ideas too.

Razzak,
When Date/Time Picker is set for Date, a calender pops up when you
click on the drop down. When D/T Picker is set for Time, you "edit"
hh or mm by adjusting with the up/down arrows. Works fine. Is there
some way to have the adjustable Pop-up Clock come up when D/T Picker
is set for Time ? I can make a version work in forms by placing a
Speed Button next to the D/T Picker, but I still have to go through
the Dialog box.window to get to the Pop-up Clock. We use multiple
time inputs for many billing purposes while the date often default
to today. The inputs are scattered though many forms, particularly
for behind the scene editing using scrolls several days later. The
Pop-up Clock seems like a perfect KISS solution in many situations,
but I would like to avoid the Dialog box window entirely for this
particular purpose.
Tom,
I see what you are trying to do.
Currently, the GETDATE function will bring up the calendar without
the Dialog box.
Example:
SET VAR vDate DATE = (GETDATE('Pick Date'))
However, there is no function to bring up the Clock without the
Dialog box. It would be a nice function to implement though.
On the other hand, why not create a cute "variable form" with a
Variable Date/Time Picker to achieve your goal without using the
Dialog box? You can even design an external form file to use the
same external form across the board without being connected to any
particular database.
Hope that gives you some ideas.
I can prepare a sample for you, but it won't be until late next week.
We are entertaining and enjoying the company of our Japanese business
partners for a couple of days.
Very Best R:egards,
Razzak.
