Jim:

In your code there does table1 mean I have to create a table in the front
end with one record?

Regards,

Rocky

Rocky,
If you add "Date Worked" to a union query to populate the combo box.
Set the Default to "Date Worked and then use conditional formatting with the
default.
Something like:  
SELECT "0" as ID,"Date Worked" as Test
FROM table1
UNION SELECT Table1.ID, Table1.field2
FROM Table1;

Then use conditional formatting when the field value is 0.

Jim

I thought about that but since it's a continuous form it would have to be in
the conditional formatting.  I couldn't seem to get it to work after fooling
with it for a couple of minutes.  Again - that old cost/benefit thing.
He
doesn't want me to spend two hours trying to figure it out.

Could you have two text boxes for the field and make them visible/invisible
depending on content?

Well, it's a continuous form.  SO the format of the record on the continuous
would have to change based on the record. I don't think you can do that in a
continuous form.  I'm also thinking the cost/benefit is not in the client's
favor.  :)

Rocky, sounds like a class to me, and in lieu of that, can't you create a
function using an input mask property that you could just call rather than
dealing with each individual control? You could use the label's caption as
the text, right? Don't know how to help with the combo box problem.
