Formfield wdDateText

[jbc]

Hi, I'm having a problem adding a formfield in Word 2000. I'm adding a
textbox and want it to be formatted with the DateText setting. I want the
formatting to spell out the month day, year when the user enters the date.

I've been playing with the TextInput property, but must be missing
something. This is the code w/o TextInput property.

Set ffield = ActiveDocument.FormFields _
.Add(Range:=Selection.Range, Type:=wdFieldFormTextInput)

With ffield
.OwnStatus = True
.StatusText = "Type Prior Application Filing Date, xx/xx/xx"
End With

Thank you.

Hi =?Utf-8?B?amJj?=,

This works for me:

With ffield
.TextInput.EditType wdDateText, Date, "dd MMMM yyyy", True
End With
