You could use a date/time picker where the user selects a date from a
calendar and the time can be adjusted with spin controls. See an example at:
http://www.pauleschoen.com/SCGBG/EventSubmit.htm

There is a text box where the user can also directly edit it but I use a
simple Javascript format checker in case they screw up:

else if ( (Form1.Start_DT.value.charAt(2) != "/") ||
(Form1.Start_DT.value.charAt(5) != "/") ||
(Form1.Start_DT.value.charAt(10) != " ") ||
(Form1.Start_DT.value.charAt(13) != ":") )
{
alert ("Please use mm/dd/yyyy hh:mm Format for Date/Time");
Form1.Start_DT.focus();
}
else { //Everything seems OK
with (Form1.Start_DT) { //Update hidden variable to be sent
Form1.Entry_Start_DT.value =
value.substring(6,10) + "-" +
value.substring(0,2) + "-" +
value.substring(3,5) + "T" +
value.substring(11,13) + ":" +
value.substring(14,16);
}

Not the best, but it works. Note that I format the date in standard format:
yyyymmddThh:mm

I might use some of the other ideas submitted here.

Thanks,

Paul
