[AccessD] Entering an ISO date with input mask and full validation

[Dan Waters]

Hi Gustav,

This format doesn't make sense, but is the reverse of what is typically used
in the US (mm-dd-yyyy).  I'm going to guess that someone had a momentary
bout of dyslexia and just read it backwards.  

I like using yyyy-mm-dd whenever I can just because it sorts correctly.

Hi all

I received a reader comment on this, claiming that "the US uses yyyy-dd-mm
format".

This is new to me. I have never seen anything else than mm/dd/yyyy for date
formats related to the US.
Can anyone confirm the use of the yyyy-dd-mm format?

Happy New Year to all.

I've made a "sister" demo of the time entry textbox - now for a date entry
in the ISO yyyy-mm-dd format.

Again, a demo is included, ready to download and run:

The error catching is somewhat different, but the inputmask plays a big
role.

Emne: [AccessD] Entering 24-hour time with input mask and full validation

Hi all

Years ago - in Access 2.0 - I made a form with a bound textbox for 24-hour
fool-proof input.
Recently, I had this need again, so I brushed it up for A2013/2016 and wrote
down the thoughts behind as a note on Experts-Exchange.

Here it is, including a demo ready to run:

    http://rdsrc.us/Le82yJ

It makes heavy use of an inputmask, the textbox's KeyPress event, and the
form's Error event.
