Vic, I believe format masks can only be used on text fields in 6.5 Dawn -----Original Message----- From: Victor Timmons [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, December 29, 2004 12:19 PM To: RBASE-L Mailing List Subject: [RBASE-L] - Default value or format mask
I have a date field on a form and would like to use a format mask on it. 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?
