I am trying to do the same in the Buisness Object. How do I get a Blank Date into a date field and gen into a General Field. Currently, If I allow nulls, it seems to put a date of 01/01/1800 intot he date field.

Also, when I drop the Field onto the form, there is no automatic formatting based on the field size in the table (e.g. say Numeric field with 10 digits and 4 decimals is displayed as just decimals). Is there any automatic way to take the formatting from the table i.e. in example it would have a mask of 999999999.9999
