dateTime = Null problem

[Jake]

Hi All,

I have an object that ahs a property of time dateTime,
this property is set to the contents of a DateTime field
in the database(SQL Server).

The problem I am haveing is that if the dataabase field
is Null and the object property is set to the contense of
that field. And I then assign the object proberty to the
value of a control the control value is set to 01/01/0001
instead of "". Any ideas on how to acheive this?

I can initialize teh value of the property to
say "1/1/1900" and test for that but is the a neater way?

And if i test for Isdate() i recieve an error.

Thanks in advance

Cheers Jake

Jake,

You might want to retrieve it from the backend as
'isnull(<databasefieldname>,'01/01/1900')
