[Quoted] Yes, but it cannot be done through the Format Mask property. To make the "/" appear automatically, you have to change the data type property of the item from Date to Char (in the form, not the database). Then create a When-Validate-Item trigger to insert the "/" after the second and fourth characters.

[Quoted] [Quoted] Yes, Forms 5.0 is available in Developer 2000 version 2.0. I do not know if it will run on a 16-bit platform.
