So I have a general database question about forms. On an input form, I have two places where a user can input the date. I want them to be able to be able to type mm/dd/yyyy as any other date as mmddyyyy and it will then parse and set it up to look like mm/dd/yyyy. Is there a way to be able to get the input field to be able to do that?

I looked at http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/a...try-formats-with-input-masks-HA010096452.aspx

But that did not make it do what I want it to do. It creates the input to look like this:

__/__/_____

and I don't want the users to have to do it that way.

Righ click on the text box and look for "format" in the properties. Does that not do what you want?
 
I just tried the format and that didn't work but the input mask worked find for the text box.

What version of Access are you using?
 
Access 2010. It is structured similarily to Access 2007.
