Re: Help! "Date" display format in Form

Try using a format mask e.g.

DD/MM/YYYY (assuming that the field data type is DATE). Users then have the option of just typing in the digits and FORMS formats it automatically. For pre-existing data the format mask is applied automatically.

Hope this helps.
