Unable to enter data in date field

[Guest]

Hi,
For some reason, when I try to enter data into a date field on a form,
linked to a table, it won't take any numbers or letters. It just gives the
"dinging" sound. My input mask for the form & table is 00/00/0000;;_ and the
format is mm/dd/yyyy.
Any ideas?
Thank you,
Karl

Any chance you are trying to use the numeric keypad? And the NumLock key is
off?

No, that's not it, thanks. I may have to just re-build the form, but let me
know if you have other ideas.

Is the form based on a query against the table? Can you add a date into the
query?

Have you tried adding a date into the field in the table directly?

Is this the only field on the form that doesn't accept input? What
properties are set for the control? the form? (check the add/edit
properties).

Hi Jeff,
The info can be entered into the table directly. The data is not from a
query, just a table. There are 2 other fields on the fom that do not take
data. One is another date field.
The form is set to accept add/edits.

I decided to try reconstructing the form based on the table and that's
wroking. I think I'll just do that. I'm not sure what happened to this
project, but a few people were working on it and maybe something got a little
corrupted?

Thank you very much for responding.
