So I right click the field and select "field settings" then click the check box "Default value or format mask" and enter my format mask of mmddyy and get an error reading. "Value entered does not match field data type". What am i missing here? Isnt that what a format mask is? Victor Timmons Tiz's Door Sales, Inc 425-258-2391
