Clear a global date field

[DanBrill]

Hi,

I have 2 global date fields, MinDate and MaxDate, that I'd like to leave empty when my script is done. I'm using

Clear [select,"MinDate"] <-- Select entire contents option is checked

But they are never cleared. Trying to set them to "" doesn't work either. What am I doing wrong.

Thanks for any help,

Dan

Instead use: SetField(MinDate,TextToDate(""))

It converts the null value into a date equivalent.

The Clear command only works if the field is on the current layout when you perform the script. Also, the field has to be formatted to allow entry. Steve's solution using a Set Field command is the reliable way to do it.

Thanks! Works just right.
