Strange behavior with date input mask

[Guest]

Hello,

I am using the following input mask on all date fields in my database:

99/99/99

I received a bug report from one user who complains that she has to press
the right arrow key after each digit when entering a date in order to move
the cursor to the next position in the input mask. For example, to enter the
Oct 9th 2007, she has to press the following keys in succession...

1
<Right Arrow>
0
<Right Arrow>
0
<Right Arrow>
9
<Right Arrow>
0
<Right Arrow>
7

I package my db with Access 2K and her OS is Win XP.

The literals must be stored, so the inputmask should be:

99/99/99;0

Did you verify the problem? I can't believe it.
