Whenever you use mods you have to keep in mind that they are written at times for a specific database. You may have your dates setup to use a different format from my examples.

I have modified my date subs to allow for the date format I used in the autodelete mod. Below is a copy of how I have these mods configured:

sub get_date {
# --------------------------------------------------------

my ($time1) = $_[0];
($time1) or ($time1 = time());

my ($sec, $min, $hour, $day, $mon, $year, $dweek, $dyear, $daylight) = localtime($time1);
## my (@months) = qw!01 02 03 04 05 06 07 08 09 10 11 12!;
($day < 10) and ($day = "0$day");
++$mon;
($mon < 10) and ($mon = "0$mon");
$year = $year + 1900;

return "$mon/$day/$year";
}

sub date_to_unix {
# --------------------------------------------------------

my ($date) = $_[0];
my ($time);

my ($mon, $day, $year) = split(/\//, $_[0]);
unless ($mon and $day and $year) { return undef; }

use Time::Local;
eval {
$day = int($day); $year = int($year) - 1900; $mon = int($mon) - 1;
$time = timelocal(0,0,0,$day, $mon, $year);
};

if ($@) { return undef; } # Could return 0 if you want.
return ($time);
}

And yes you do need to add these fields as hidden fields in your sub html_record_form. Which is the same form that displays for modifying a record, unless you setup another form just for making modifications.

Hope this helps
