How to remove date from DateTime picker?

Reply Contact

(v 2010)

I've got a row with a checkbox - - if it's checked, the DateTimePicker is enabled - if it's not checked, the DTP is disabled - - that part's working.

But, for the life of me, I haven't been able to figure out the following.

A user checks the checkbox, so the DTP is enabed
Then, he chooses a date, to populate the DTP.
Then, he changes his mind and unchecks the checkbox.
I need to remove the date that was chosen - I've tried using the 'Set a Field's value' - and left the value blank, tried adding 2 single quotes, tried adding 2 double quotes, but nothing works.

How do I remove the date from the 'textbox' portion of the DTP with a rule?

I wonder if there's something incorrect in the rules. You mention "row"; are you working in a repeating table?

I'm attaching a template where I clear the fields by setting the value to blank via button click. This seems to work for me. Can you elaborate on the result you see when using a similar rule?

The problem wasn't the rule, but where the rule was

I was trying to put the logic in the rule for the DatePicker (where I also had a formatting rule to disable the DTP when a checkbox was false) - once I put the logic in rule for the checkbox, it worked fine...

thanks.

However, this is really going to get tedious!

- - 13 table rows
Each with a checkbox, 2 DTPs and 3 textboxes - - based on the checkbox's False selection, I need to make invisible or disabled and clear the text
