Combo Box bypass input maskI have a combo box (text) field, where folks type in a shoft date using
an input mask <or> they select a text value from a value list. The drop eown selection remains in the field. This is what we want - either the entered date or a value from the drop down list. If you enter a date it's fine. If you select a value from the drop down list the date input mask error appears and won't allow you to save the record... Is there a VB command to bypass the input mask error and allow the text value to remain in the record? The command would be used on an after update event when the value list item is selected. And of course maybe there's another way to accomplish this without making two fields. Russ "Russ" <rleh***@npr.org> wrote in message Input mask?
