String properties in the Form, and a utility class to do the conversions when you need to use it as a Date. (Possibly a BeanUtils Converter to do it as part of 'copyProperties' if you have a Date in your business object?) Any time I've had the idea to use other than String, String[] or Boolean in an ActionForm, I've ended up changing back. Or separate fields for month/day/year to keep the users from messing it up. ;) Then you can validate on ranges of integers, and string the bits together to make a Date when you need one. Then again, I rarely need Dates... in my database, dates are stored as the number of integers since 12/31/1967. (I considered offering a prize to the first person to guess which one, but it's too easy to Google.) -- Wendy Smoak Application Systems Analyst, Sr. ASU IA Information Resources Management --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
