Input masks

[Annie]

Hi. I'm a little freaked out- I just realized that all
of my dates are "backwards": 18/07/1999 rather than
07/18/1999 (July 18th). Yes, I know.

Can you please show me what input mask I need to use to
get what I want? I couldn't find it from the Input Mask
Wizard and don't understand how to create my own.

I'm a little panicked. Thanks, Annie

Annie,
Your problem MAY lie in the Regional Settings for your computer, rather than
in Access. Check to see if the date format there is set to dd/mm/yyyy.

Lynn,
You are FABULOUS! Thank you- I thought I was losing my
mind. But that sloved my woes and now I can see if wrote
my reports correctly.
Annie

Thanks! I'm glad that worked.
