Well, for once, the "clear" action of the edit could put it? or would that be 
a PITA - maybe. I think like mike, if the date isnøt valid when focus is lost 
- or when the dialog is accepted - a warning should be issued. And if the 
edit is empty, the date will be null, and "none" pop up next time.

Sorry, wrone order. Pop up a warning, and if it ic canceled, set the null 
date.
