If it's a date/time field, it will always show either a date or None. A null (=blank) value isn't valid for a date/time field.

My client doesn't want the field to display 'none' the first time the form is
entered. They insist that the field is blank on a new form. Can you help me
out?

BTW Sue, I have both your books and am currently using Outlook 2003.
