Date/Time fields are always stored as a number in the format ddddd.nnnnn where ddddd is the day number and nnnnn is the decimal part of the day for the time.
To store it in the format you want you need to use a text field and explicitly format the date MyTextDate = Format(mydate,"mmm-yy")

On the other hand, if you don't care about the day part, just set it to a constant (perhaps 1) and display the date via a fomat function.
