   User Interface advice   
   06 Aug 06 13:48:47   
   
   From: WatsonR@IntelligenCIA.com   
      
   I am looking for some advise on user interface related to the date picker   
   control.   
      
   I have a user form with a date picker associated to a database. The date   
   picker has a meeting date, however, not every record has this date set (i.e.   
   some record has no meeting date).   
      
   Unfortunately, the date picker when not set to any particular date, would   
   display whatever date the control was created. Even when the control is   
   disabled, this shows. I can't find a way to make this control "blank".   
      
   I have use a regular text box and move the date into it but it becomes   
   cumbersome code-wise when you have multiple date pickers on the screen.   
      
   Would anyone have a suggestion how to handle this?   
      
   Any advise is greatly appreciated. Thanks and God Bless.
