Hi Guys,
After a few hours searching the net I can not find a solution to the problem of changing the message in a default error message box - hopefully there is a solution that someone on here can offer!
I have a date field with a short date input mask on it. if the users enters 6 digits 200111 the field converts that to 20/01/2011 - all of which is fine and working right... but if the user enters less than 6 digits by mistake the "default" error message box pops up
Firstly .. is there a way to change the text in this box to make it more user friendly?
And also would it be possbile to explain how it works (If it can be done that is) as I know there will be other "default" messages popping up on other fields as the db design goes on and it would help me learn something hopefully for the future.
Many thanks for any advice offered - please bear in mind I am a novice !!
Thanks
Paul

The value you entered isn't appropriate for the input mask '00/00/00;0;'_ specified for this field
