Date field always displays "None"

I created a date needed field and made the type Date/Time. The field always
displays "none". I have tried going to the advanced properties and deleted
"None" as the Value and Text. But it always comes back.

This is normal behavior. "None" means no date/time has been selected for that property. Outlook actually stores the date #1/1/4501#.

Thanks Sue, that's what I was starting to think after tinkering around a bit
more.

My date fields are also displaying 'none', but i want to require that a date
be entered into the field. What validation formula can i enter to make this
happen? Currently I have the [Revision Date] <>"", but this is not working.

I use a validation formula like this for date fields:

[Due Date] <#1/1/4501#

My client doesn't want the field to display 'none' the first time the form is
entered. They insist that the field is blank on a new form. Can you help me
out?

BTW, I have both your books and am currently using Outlook 2003.
