I would probably use a db edit field, hide it, and use a default value that is 
a based on a variable created.

The variable in the form
(ADDHR(.#now,2))

Then I would put an additional field for the user to change it using date 
and/or time pickers.

Subject: [RBASE-L] - Suggestions for date/time entry?

I don't do much with asking users to edit date/time, but I have an application 
where I am going to default a date and time (default to the same date, 2 hrs in 
the future) but I would like the user to be able to change both the date and/or 
the time.   I'm wondering how best to structure the table (a DateTime column, 
or separate Date and Time?), and what controls I can put on the form to make it 
the easiest for them to change either.  These wouldn't be power users so it 
would need to be easy.

Thanks for the suggestions!

Karen
