Brenda from Michigan
Using Word 2002, SP3
User has entered a Text Form Field from the Forms toolbar. She has
formatted it for Date in the M/d/yy format. If she enters 13/08/08, the 13
in the month slot is invalid and Word (or the operating system) changes the
date to 8/13/08. In fact, the date was mistyped and should have read
12/08/08.
Is there any way to prevent this automatic transposition of the M/DD? We
see that if two invalid dates are entered, such as 13/33/08, we get an error
stating it is an invalid date. The user would like to see this error in the
case of the 13/08/08. TIA!
