Date Masking question

[TheB]

How do you set up date field on form such taht it will appear as dd/mm/yyyy for easy entry by user. I would also like it to be stored in database as ddmmyyyy.

Pardon my ignorance here but I am quite new to VB and still learning.

Thanks in advance.

You need to use the input mask feature on the text box properties. You can then set it to short date which will be in the format you require.

Dave,

Thanks for the response. However I tried that and when I run the form the input mask looks like this.

__/__/___

I want it to like this.

dd/mm/yyyy

What am I missing??

Thanks in advance.
