I created several databases before. They are stored in the hard drive. Then I installed IME for Chinese characters. After installing IME, I went bask to try my database, all the Date/Time variabels don't take the value I enter. I have the input mask "0000/99/99;;_" It really worked fine before. Now the cursor just stays in the first position of the Date variables, and can't take any more numbers. Does anyone know why it happens and how to fix it?
