I don't know if anyone else is having difficulties with this control, but I have had many (mainly to do with the date formats etc) but have now got it working in a simple way that does the job - most of the time.

Problem I have is that I really want to be able to get nofification of a date being changed, but cannot seem to find a way to do this. I have tried an after procedure and this does nothing (i.e. does not get invoked), then I tried an event procedure, but mostly this seems to screw up the date-entry control completely and still doesn't give me what I want.

Any ideas how I might approach this problem?

You might look at the notify property (false by default), change this to true and then use and exception or event procedure on ntf-changed.

I had tried this before, in fact it was the first solution I went for, but with your suggestion I looked at it again with NOTIFY-CHANGE. In fact if an event or exception procedure is attached to the control it still maifests some very strange behaviour, but just actioning the 4100 event with NOTIFY-CHANGE after the accept verb terminated does allow for me to do what I wanted. So it is not perfect but a work around is found - when have we all been here before !

Thanks for the suggetsion, it certainly made me look at the problem again.
