I'm unclear about how to grab the content of the form date. The following shows the control quite well on the form, but the date is not being collected:

In FoxPro, I'm trying to grab the value like this: Request.Form('Mtg_St_D8')

The variable TYPE appears to be numeric, [ WAIT WINDOW TYPE(Request.Form('Mtg_St_D8')) = N ] but [ WAIT WINDOW Request.Form('Mtg_St_D8') ] returns the value as a date. My destination table field is type DATE()

On the HTML edit form, the form field is like this:

        <div class="form-group form-horizontal">
            <label class="col-sm-2">Meeting Date:</label>
            <div class="col-sm-7">
                <input name="Mtg_St_d8" type="date"
                    value="<%= Request.FormDate('Mtg_St_D8',poEvent.Mtg_St_d8) %>"
                    class="form-control"
                    placeholder="(Optional)" />
                <%= HtmlBindingError("Mtg_St_d8",poError.Errors) %>
            </div>
        </div>

What am I missing?

TIA

Not sure what you're doing exactly.

Take a look at the bottom example of the the Date examples in the Web Connection samples:

<div class="form-group">
    <label for="ptDate5" class="control-label">Date Only:</label>
    <input id="ptDate5_field" name="ptDate5" type='date' class="form-control"
           value="<%= ToIsoDateString( Request.FormDateOrValue('ptDate5',ptDate5) ) %>" />
    <i><%= ptDate5 %></i>
</div>

<div class="form-group">
    <label for="ptDate6" class="control-label">Date and Time:</label>
    <input id="ptDate6_field" name="ptDate6" type='datetime-local' class="form-control"
           value="<%= ToIsoDateString( Request.FormDateOrValue('ptDate6',ptDate4),.T.,.T.) %>" />


    <i><%= ptDate6 %></i>
</div>

Then to retrieve:

ptDate5 = Request.FormDateOrValue("ptDate6",DateTime() - 7400)
ptDate6 = Request.FormDateOrValue("ptDate6",DateTime() - 7400)

Native date controls suck in that they don't return dates directly and use UTC formatted time that has to be adjusted. The functions adjust for this. It's awkward as heck.
