I belive you can set the textbox to use the windows data format... but, set century off should get you there too.

Dates are always stored as 8 chraacters. Make sure, if they are entering 2 digit years you know if you want a 19 or 20 for the century. Also, with set century on you can still show 4 dates but the user can enter two... Look at set century ... rollover...
