Day/Month/Year as ##/AAA/####
Set the Format property of your text box to:
dd\/mm\/yyyy It's fairly close to the Medium Date format too. -- Allen Browne - Microsoft MVP.

Day/Month/Year as ##/AAA/####
When I add this dd\/mm\/yyyy to either a text field or a Date/time field and
try to add data via the table I get a beep noise and the numbers I type don't replace dd\/mm\/yyyy Would you know why? I am probably doing something wrong...

Day/Month/Year as ##/AAA/####
I suggested placing it in the Format property.
IME, the Input Mask serves little purpose, except to slow down a good data entry operator. If you leave the Input Mask blank, the user can type using any format they want, even omitting the year if it is the current year. -- Allen Browne - Microsoft MVP.
