Treating them to a nice dinner and a romantic movie usually works ;-)

HawHaw - I guess it depends on HOW optional!
>Any reason you cant model them as null?
The date's already defined as 'not null' on the data-base and I wanted to
avoid touching it. Wouldn't null dates appear as 'null' if you attempted to
display them anyway? (ie I'd still be stuck with the 'check the date before
displaying it' overhead).
Since the posting I made a happy discovery though. If I save an optional
date with the value '01-01-0001' (d-m-y), it appears as blank when
displayed - just what I was after.
