I have a form that hides the second date unless it is needed if you are interested.

That's a great idea for a Generic date form. In this instance, they are always selecting just one date, which is why a calendar is so handy. And of course they do not have to select a second date. It's not a date range, the two dates are used independently for two types of calculations, but the 2nd calculation is not required. I could hide the 2nd calendar and put a button or checkbox for "select 2nd date for receipt date calculation" and then display the calendar. Which I might do if they get confused by the display Karen -----Original Message----- From: javier.valen...@vtgonline.com To: rbase-l@googlegroups.com Sent: Mon, Aug 31, 2020 9:12 pm Subject: RE: [RBASE-L] - Enhanced Variable calendar Karen, Would something like this work for you? The form is very easy to use and users can pick any date span very quickly with a few mouse clicks. The form is pre-set with the current year pre-selected but you can pre-select any date range. The more used time spans can be easily selected by clicking on the appropriate range. When you select a range, the corresponding start and end dates are updated on the red colored fields at the bottom. You can select a specific date span by clicking on the arrows next to the “From” and “To” dates (highlighted in yellow) and the calendar will pop with the current date highlighted where you can select a custom date. 9 out of 10 times the required time span needed is one of the pre-programmed time spans, at least in my application, but you have the freedom to select a custom time span. You can modify the form to include date spans that fit you applications. The form returns the To and From date values a 2 variables, vFrom Date and vTo Date.

As soon as you select another date , the selected date is highlighted It seems to me that you can report this to the dream team,maybe they can solve it The work around is to set a date to the variable instead of a null value Tony Op 30-8-2020 om 19:53 schreef 'Karen Tellef' via RBASE-L: I cannot replicate what you have. I changed my Color settings to match exactly what you have, and today still comes up highlighted clearly. My variable is initialized to null. Shown here: What version are you using? Do you have any other settings checked on other calendar tabs? And unfortunately my previous "solution" doesn't work. I cannot have "white" as the Date Selected Background color. You click a day, you can see the highlight, but as soon as you move to another control (like my 2nd calendar), your first selection totally disappears and is no longer highlighted. So far I've changed the background to a very light grey so at least it isn't as noticeable as the default blue, but it still looks like a date has been selected in both calendars.

It looks like this Error! Filename not specified. As you can see the enddate does not show today. the settings for the enddate are and the only one I have changed is Todays Date Frame: Error! Filename not specified. So you can compare the settings of this example with the settings in your own application.

Here's my property page and how the form comes up with a null initialized variable. When I was previously playing around with it, it does indeed seem to be the "frame" around the blue highlight as it says. Changing it to white causes no frame around the highlight, but it does not get rid of the blue highlight. Thinking that I might submit an enhancement request to highlight NO date Karen -----Original Message----- From: Tony IJntema <t.ijnt...@cio-bv.nl> To: rbase-l@googlegroups.com Sent: Sat, Aug 29, 2020 4:01 pm Subject: Re: [RBASE-L] - Enhanced Variable calendar Karen, You can make today invisible Error!

I have a form come up where the user is required to select one date, but the 2nd date is optional. "Today" comes up highlighted on both calendars, and my users are confused because they think the date is "selected" for the optional 2nd date. They try to click it off and can't, and end up inadvertently selecting a 2nd date. Is there a setting so that "today" is not highlighted? Error! Filename not specified.
