[AccessD] Date data entry

I realize that this approach is not ideal, however the ease of this solution
may outweigh the elegance given that it does achieve the end goal...filling
in the current year.  I liken it to a combo-box that is defaulted to the
first entry...in most every case you are going to type right over it anyway,
but that doesn't stop people from using it.

Where logical I do that, however in these cases they are entering dates out
in the future or in the past.

I have a specific client that LOVES the input masks for dates.  I don't
understand this as I personally hate them, but...

What they want is to have something like that but which "assumes current
year", i.e. all they have to enter is the ddmm and the rest (the year) is
filled in.

Does anyone do this?  Know how to do this?
