From with 2 tabs, same date field, calendar error

[Alberto]

Hi,
I have a Form with two tabs, a browse in each one and need to fiter it with the same date value.
Then add the same field (different equate) in each tab, when I try to use the calendar I get the following error:

Error calling the calendar. Parameter especified is not valid target control.

Regards
Alberto

Yes, its very simple.
Browse in form example (21)
Update Invoices procedure
I´ve added a tab called error
added the same date field of the general tab changing only the equate to INV:Date2
compiled
run
go to the proc and try to click on the calendar button of each tab

See attached app

Hope this helps
Alberto

Hi Alberto,

The short answer is that it's not possible to have multiple dates on the window, on the same field.
The reasons are somewhat complex as to exactly why, but suffice to say that changing it would be quite a serious step at this stage, and not one I'm wanting to make before at least NetTalk 5.

So what you'll need to do is make another field (a local field) to hold the second copy of the date.

Sorry.
Cheers
Bruce
