Date Input Mask Question

[Kaylen]

Is it possible to have a short date input mask for a text field in the form
but then also allow a text to be entered if there is no date? For my case,
most of the time, the users must enter a date, therefore I want to put an
input mask for date for this field on the form, however, there is a small
chance that there is no date and I would like the users have to enter "none"
in that case. So my question is, if I put a date input mask for a text field,
how can I also allow the text "none" to be entered in the same field? Or is
there better way to satisfy both conditons? Any suggestions would help.
Thanks!

I like your idea, Bill. Can you help me create an OnUpdate Event so that if a
date is entered, it will use a short date input mask and if a text is
entered, nothing change? Thank you!

Yes Bill, I still want to solve this problem. I would like to have the text
field to both allow a short date input mask _ _/_ _/_ _ and also allow the
users to enter "no ltr" if there is no date available. Can you help me with a
code?

Thank you, Bill. I don't work on the weekends, so I have to check back Monday.

Bill, before using the code, I just want to let you know that I have more
than 1 text box field that need to have date input mask or "no ltr" input.
Therefore I dont think I can change the name of all those text boxes to
"tbMyDate" becuase then they will have all the same name. How would I go
about using the Replace All Via Edit thing? I'm not famliar with that
function.

Thank you for your help!
