Hello All,

I know this question has been brought up before but searching through previous threads has brought me no solution.

I have a Date of Birth field that i want the user to input as dd/mm/yyyy. But when i set the mask to 99/99/9999 The first two digits of the year get lost when the user hits enter and don't print in the report either. I need all four digits to input and store. I know that i can't use short date...it only has yy. I have the dob field set to input yyyy in the table and also on the form where it is entered as well as the report where it is suppose to print. I need to enter birthdays form 1895 - 2003. So i'm dealing with three centuries here! Please Help!

Thank you in advance! :)
