Hi David, Bill, and Razzak Sorry, I was not very clear on my first post.
I like having the date change to YYYY when I only enter 05/05/02. The form that changes the date to 2002 has 2 tables. The header table has Custnum and a date col in it. This is the col that gets changed to 2002 as soon as you leave the col. The other forms that do not change the date are 1 table forms that have a custnum col and date col. If I add a 2nd table to one of these forms and add some of the cols for the second table. The date changes on the first table as soon as you leave that field even if you haven't gotten to the second tab yet. It in not a big deal, I just like the date changing to 2002. thanks marc --- Bill Downall <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I think marc is talking about something other than > the date format > issue.
