Hi Christopher,

>When I set the machine to 2000 the textbox on the form that contains the date (whose value is initialized by formname.textbox.value = date()) appears with a 4 digit date even though century is set off. As soon as the user types_ in it it snaps to a 2 digit century.

I don't know how to prevent this, other than using Unbound controls or unformatted fields.

Did you forward this to everyone else, or just me? You might want to start a new thread for this.
