Question regarding test format: date + text

[BazEWR]

Hello,
I want an input mask where the date is entered automatically before the date
which is entered. Sort of like this:
"date()"-

Thanks,
Baz

An Input Mask is not capable of doing this. You can probably do what you want
using VBA code or a form event, but it's not at all clear to me what you want!
If you're intending to store a date *and* additional text jammed together in
one field... *don't*. It will make both the date and the text much harder to
search or use. What are you trying to accomplish?
