>We have a form, wizard built, that has date fields. The users want to find records based on date (among other fields).We are using the default find screen. What we need is a way for the user to enter date normaly (01/07/2000) rather than having to do it {^2000-01-07}. Our users will never remember that formating. Any suggestions on how to do this will be greatly appreciated.

The textbox will format the date for you, by virtue of being a date-bound textbox. There is no need to enter with special formatting. Is STRICTDATE biting you with something?
