I am trying to create a date field with a custom date format of the kind mm/yy, as in 12/92. I go to the date format in the format menu, and create a custom date that looks like: month / year empty empty empty. But when I try to actually enter a date in that form, I get a dialog box that says "The date in this field must have a valid date in the range of years 1 to 3000, and should look like "12/31/92." Is this a FMP message, or a system message? The system date format does not allow a format of the form mm/yy. The day must always be present. Is this a FMP bug, or am I overlooking something? I've tried calling Claris Tech Support, but their line is *always* busy, at least when I've called. -- --- Vincent Heuring Dep't of Electrical & Computer Engineering University of Colorado at Boulder Boulder CO 80309-0425 heuring@cs.Colorado.EDU o) 303-492-8751 h) 303-449-8868
