Why can't you use 'shownone' clause?

[Carlos Britos]

In HMG Extended exist something like this
SetDatePickNull

Oops!
HMG also exists.
What is the use of this function?

I can understand 12/31/9999, but 09/14/1752? Somebody must have had a reason!!

Actually '09/14/1752' isn't a problem.
Instead you should worry about '12/31/9999'.
Could you imaging, that we are distributing code that is infected by the "(ten)millennium virus"?
And that it will break exactly on 01/01/10000?
As much as I think of it, I can't take it off of my mind that for sure, "somebody must have had a reason" for this to happen!

I don't know about you, Pete, but I don't plan on losing too much sleep over the Y10K problem!

Aren't you a Highlander ?

[CalScot]

Hi, Apais.

No - the very opposite: I grew up in a small town in Southern Scotland that was about as close to the English border as you could get but still be Scottish! There, we didn't call them "Highlanders", but "Tcheuchters"! (You're going to have to Google that one for both pronunciation and meaning.)

PS: I forgive Aramante for saying "US & England adopts Gregorian calendar" when I'm sure that he meant "US & Britain".

Why can't you use 'shownone' clause?

I've been searching for a solution to this. The SHOWNONE clause leaves a ghosted date and blank check mark.
My concern is that users will be confused when seeing a ghosted out date. My users get confused easily.

Is there no way to use DATEPICKER and display blank dates when the VALUE is blank?

Is there a DATE type for TEXTBOX?
