Second issue: I've run into that issue also. Set var vTmp = #Date In the On After Start use property command - Property componentid TEXTVALUE 'vTmp' This still allows to initially display as null, but when user click, sets to todays date.

Two issues when using the form's variable date/time picker object in R:BASE eXtreme 9.1 (32), U.S. Version, Build: 9.1.5.20317. FIRST ISSUE: I cannot get the DROPCOLUMNS or the DROPROWS properties to work. I tried it in the form designer under properties and I tried it programmatically using the PROPERTY COMMANDS PROPERTY vdpvBegDate DROPCOLUMNS '3' PROPERTY vdpvBegDate DROPROWS '2' No luck, I always get a single calendar to display when I click on the object. SECOND ISSUE: If the variable used to collect the date range are set to NULL then the default date that appears on the forms is the date I created the date/time picker on the form. In my case 1/15/2011. The calendar opens in January 2011 when the user clicks on the object. This is a bit annoying to some customers. The "SHOWTODAY" property displays today's date at the bottom of the calendar that helps the user get to a more current year. Another workaround I tried is to set the variables to #DATE. What am I doing wrong? Really appreciate any help I can get, Manuel de Aguiar
