[Quoted] [Quoted] First off, we're doing this in Forms 5.0. We're trying to find out if there is a way to make a date field user-friendly in the way it is entered. For example, a user can enter a date in any variety of predetermined formats, such as what is available in MS Excel, which would then be translated into our standard format of DD-MON-YYYY.

We've been able to successfully implement this on nondatabase item fields. However we've run into problems getting this to work on base table date fields. I'm hoping for a simple solution that we could put in a library somewhere, but any help would be appreciated.
