I had remote view created from ORACLE, and ORACLE ODBC driver by default create datetime datatype for date field. If I bound this view field to TextBox Control with controlsource property of form, then form display date & time on the form and user had to enter date and time or press enter after entering date to avoid time entry. I want just date to be displayed in TextBox Control and when user finishes date entry cursor should move to next field skiping time. I had tried by setting input mask/ format property of TextBox as ##/##/##, 99/99/99, it does not work. Any help in this regard is most wellcome. DO WHILE .T. Thanks in Advance ENDDO Waheed
