Problems with a custom task form

[andrew]

I've created a custom task form to record individual jobs and the date
they are due to be completed.

Thanks to some extremely useful help from this messageboard, I've now
incorporated the Microsoft date and time picker to speed up selecting
specific days in future months.

However, when I return to a task I've created using my new form, the
"Started Date" and "Due Date" don't update - they simply retain today's
date.

Any ideas?

Many thanks.

Andrew.

As I recall, it is the display that doesn't update. If you check in the
All Fields display, the times should be as you set them. What you can do
is put the start and stop time fields on a second tab, and the user will
be able to check them in one easy click. I would also include the
Messageclass and size fields on a tab labeled diagnostics, so you can
check if you have one-offed your form with a single click, also.
