Yeah, but I haven't found anything that I was looking for. The user likes the DTP, ( not to forget how easy it is to code when the database item is a date, no mess converting strings) but not the fact that that there is already a date in it. She is afraid if someone gets distracted from the screen before they enter a date, when they come back they wont notice that the date was never entered because there will be text in the DTP.

I guess I could put a check in to see if they have changed the date when the form closes. If it is equal to today or if the value hasn't changed ask if they want to enter a date.
