Later this message does not display but the edit hangs until either the new record is canceled with escape, or you move left and set to the date to something like 1/1/1. What I would expect to happen: When I enter a time, simply enter the time. If there is no date then don't enter the date, or use the default if available, or even just use junk or zeros. Why? So I can use time and time alone in a Date/Time field, and so I can use date and date alone in a Date/Time field. Why? For compatibility with data bases which support Date/Time, or Timestamps, but don't support the newer Time, or Date fields. ___________________________________ In my particular case, and as I transition to LO from Access, I have a shared MySQL data base which both front ends need to be able to connect to. Access is gagging on Time fields. LO is gagging on Date/Time fields. I can't fix Access, but we can fix LO. Surely there must be others who need to easily input date and/or time in a field to produce a Date/Time. I know using Date/Time is not the most efficient when only using it for Date or Time and not both, but sometimes for compatibility and simplicity it is just better to do it this way. Grateful for your work on LO.</pre> </div> <hr> You are receiving this mail because: <ul> <li>You are the assignee for the bug.</li> </ul> </body> </html>
