data in textbox is not visible

[mordyb]

Hi all

I have a database that tracks what step in are workflow a project is in. on the form there are 5 buttons and 5 textboxes. The comand buttons are named cmdbtstep1, cmdbtstep2 through cmdbtstep5. The text boxes are txtstep1.

I have the following code attacted to the buttons

Private Sub cmdbtstep1_Click()
me.txtstep1 = Date
End Sub

all of them work except for the cmdbtstep3 code. When that is pushed the date is put in the text box but you can not see it. If you scroll to the next record and scroll back to it it becomes visible.

Does anyone know what is causing this problem. TIA.

try this

me!txtstep1 = format(now,"mm/dd/yy&quot

notice exclamation instead of period after "me"
