Problem (partially) solved. Yesteday I've submitted to Jason a IB_Date improvement.
- If you press spacebar, you get the current date.
- if the date field is empty and you start type, the current date becomse the field content. This works great here in Italy since we have dd/mm/yy date format, so if you have to set only current day, you only type it.
I will study woll2w components a little more...
I've seen their grid... I dont' like it at all... too chaotic.. I think that master-detail(-detail...) editing is a nightmare that way
Just my opinion
