>I have century on and am using the rollover function, but our client (big money client) insists that I make the date fields so the user has to enter the complete date 02/19/1998. Right now I am using a text field with a controlsource being a date field from the table/view. Does anybody have a clue how I can do this. I've tried checking the length of the field on valid and it has already changed it to the full length. VFP 5

Looks like you got plenty of solutions aleady, so my only comment is don't you just love those pedantic little bureaucrats in big companies. Nothing better to do than tell users how to enter a date. (I had the same sort of client :-)
