You have to decide if you want your date to be input as text or as an actual date. IF text, then use the CTOD('09/21/99') function, convert to date
If a date, then you can convert it back to text with DTOC.
If the table field is a date field then you should be able to use an input mask of ##/##/## or ##/##/####
If you SET CENTURY ON then FP will convert two-digit years automatically.
HTH.
