I am using Acc2K. I have used the Input mask wizard to place an input mask on a from holding the date. Can any one tell me where to find the validation text for this mask, as my user will not understand the validation text that is being produced when the date is not entered correctly.

Cheers

Do you have a validation rule set up in the field's property. If so simply enter your Validation message in that property also.

If you mean that the user has entered an invalid date by mistake (i.e 32/13/01) and are greeted with the default "Invalid Date" message then surely common sense will prevail.
