quick question regarding global fields

[Big_Tom]

I have 2 global values displayed as fields on a layout. They are dates that bracket a period of interest. Also on the layout is a calculation based on the two dates entered by the user and stored as the global values I just mentioned. Finally there is a button that when clicked calls a script that exports certain fields from all the records that were found based on the calculated field which was based on the dates.

When this layout loads after opening the file, it has 2 dates stored in it. I'm wondering how I can get FM to display blank fields or a question mark instead of the dates '5/1/04' and '5/31/04.' I wish I could remember when I entered those dates for the May report, that info would help me narrow down when the data was stored.

Any advice would be appreciated as always!
