text box

[Guest]

I have 2 text boxes in a form which has start date and end date. I have used
the input mask of short date for both.
Two problems:
1. The cursor in the end date box is too far to the right. How to move it to
align it with the left edge of the box
2. I set the validation rule of end date as >=[start date] and it doesn't work

ok I am no expect but try this:
go to the end date property box and in the Format tab scroll down to "Text
Align" and click in the box, there is a pull down arrow that allows you to
align the text right, left and so on. This is using Access 2000.
