DateTime Picker - Blank Value

[barrylowe]

I have an Access 2000 format database in which I have created an unbound data entry form.

On this form I have 3 date time picker controls (MSComCtl2.DTPicker.2 class) which are used to enter 3 different dates.

What I want is when the form opens up for these 3 controls to be blank and only contain a date when one is selected from the pop-up calendar. But if I try to blank the value field I get the following warning:

"Can't set Value to NULL when CheckBox property = FALSE"

Is there a simple way of doing this?

Even setting the checkbox value to true really doesn't do what you want. It appears that the control is DEPENDANT on a valid entry when it first starts thus it gets the system date. I'd like to know if this is possible as well.
