[AccessD] Short Date Input Mask question

Lambert,

It may work fine for you, but does it work for your users? Do you force
them to use the mouse to select the date, or can they do everything they
need to from the keyboard?

The only reason I bring this up is that I have had RSI from moving
between the mouse and keyboard for data entry too much. It got to the
point where by 10 AM I could not feel my little finger and half of my
lower arm becaude of it.

As soon as I got one application that I used on a regular basis more
keyboard friendly it helped.

Just try to keep that in mind. I know I always do. I let users use the
mouse or enter with the keyboard. Their choice.

My solution to date entry is simple - I never let user's type in a
date.
They always pick the date from a simple calendar form (though I don't 
use
the MS Calendar control). Click on a date field and up pops the date
picker.
While this would not be suitable, perhaps, in applications where
massive
numbers of dates need to be entered, I find it works just fine for me.
