time/Date picker activex object on an Outlook form

[Jeisson]

I have added a time/date picker object to a form I made in Outlook. i have
made a field called Date formatted to Time/Date. I have binded the object to
the field so when a user selects a date, it saves it to the field. But when I
publish the form and make a new contact, all my fields work except the date
one. I hit "Save" and when I open it, the default value for the object is
there...meaning the value is not retained when a user chooses a date.

I have been searching the internet for similar problems and solutions but i
can only find the same problem but no solution. I have also tried other date
objects with no success.

Dear Jeisson,

I wonder if you've worked this out yet? I had the same problem and
discovered that in the control's properties, the Value tab had nothing for
"Property to use". I think that once I set this to "Value" that things seemed
to work.

Make sure also that you only initialise this date when creating a new item
(perhaps with Item.Size=0?), and that you don't do so when the form is opened
subsequently.

Let us know if you're still having problems.
