Hello (yet again)
I have been using one of the access templates (Northwind) to build an inventory system... While looking through the template I noticed a really cool feature that I have never seen before @;[Red]"(Required)" on the format of text boxes in the forms. So, I have since used it in my database and it works very well.
However, one of the required fields in a new form I am creating is a Date/Time field - the @;[Red]"(Required)" works and allows me to pick a date etc. But, as soon as I lose the focus of the text box, it turns the date into a bunch of random numbers.... But, the date I originally selected is saved in the table!
I have tried so many ways, such as dd/mm/yyyy;[Red]"(Required)" and @@/@@/@@@@;[Red]"(Required)" but without any luck!! The last examples is the closest I came as it gives me the correct format, but it misses out numbers and adds random ones, for example '01/ 8/2 476' even though I put in '03/05/2020' What am I doing wrong, or is it not possible to achieve what I want?
Thanks again!
