Hello there

Why don't you want to use format mask. You can achieve what you want quite easily if you use format mask. If you have a format mask of DD/MM/RRRR then the
date entered in whatever format would be converted to the above format. You can even enter the date as 12-12-2000 or 12 12 00 or 12/12/00. It would
aotomatically convert it to the above format. Hope this helps

cheers..kasi
