hi all

i have this code to update a date field: it is supposed to update the
birthday field in the onchange event of an id number field. what i get is an
error message saying "object does not support this property or method"
however if i use a normal text field it works fine. how do i get to use the
date field?

var Birthday = crmfom.all.new_idnumber.DataValue

crmForm.all.birthdate.DataValue = Birthday.substr(4,2)+
"/"+Birthday.substr(2,2)+ "/"+ "19" +(Birthday.substr(0,2));

thanx in advance

Hi Phumulani,

You can try the script below.

var birthdayDate = new Date();
birthdayDate.setDate(Birthday.substr(4,2));
birthdayDate.setMonth(Birthday.substr(2,2));
var year="19" +(Birthday.substr(0,2));
birthdayDate.setFullYear(Birthday.substr(0,2));

crmForm.all.birthdate.DataValue=birthdayDate;

Please let us know if it helped.

hi Sanjeev,

it can now update the date field, however it doesnt include the "19" the
output is like 08/12/72 instead of 08/12/1972. this is how the client would
like it. Thank you very much though.
