For some reason you're trying to set the value of your date fields to a *field*. Just as with any other field, you need to set the value of the field to the corresponding value - for a charfield, you would set it to a string: self.mycharfield = "mystring" and for an integer you would do: self.myintegerfield = 1 so for a date field you just set it to a date: self.mydatefield = datetime.date.today() -- DR. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
