Input date mask in access 2000 and 2003

40
Hello,

I've been working on access 2000 for few days. I made some forms with textfields where you can type date. Those textfields had input mask set for short date 99/99/0000. Now software have changed and some computers have access 2000 and some have access 2003, where date format is 0000/00/00. Is there some way for input mask to change depending on access version? I know the date format will convert from 2000 to 2003 (I don't know if it'd work oposide direction) but this still does not solve the problem of "how to input date in textfield"

Cheers

Change the format of the field from text to date, then you don't need an input mask because they have to enter a valid date.
