Outlook 2000 Form Question

[CMV]

I have a form that I have created in Outlook 2000.

On the form, there is are two date fields.

In the Value Properties box, I have both set to Date/Time,
Format is 06/30/2004, and Value for the property.

On the Value Properties, I have set the initial value to
NOW().

When I run the form, the current date appears in each
box. (One box is a From date and the other is a To
date). This is correct. BUT, when I delete the current
dates out of the boxes the word "None" appears. How can I
get this just to be blank if the current date is removed
or no date is entered???

Thanks in Advance!

You can't. As date/time fields, these fields don't support null values.
Outlook displays "None" and actually stores 1/1/4501.

It's not considered a problem. It's the way *all* date/time fields work on
Outlook forms. Users should be accustomed to it.
