Extract a 3 digit day from a date field into its own field.
I created a Data Entry Form which allows a person to enter a date into one of
the fields. The next field requires a 3 digit day entry (Example---Mon, Tue, Wed, Thu Fri, Sat, Sun). I would like to automate this and have the day inserted after the date is supplied in the previous field. Thanks George

Is this a Single View Form?

Regardless of the form view, since this is a calculated value it should be
placed in an unbound field, i.e. it shouldn't be stored in a table. In the Control Source for the DayField Textbox use this =IIF(Not IsNull([DateField]),Format([DateField], "ddd"), Null) -- There's ALWAYS more than one way to skin a cat!

Hi George,
Of course you could just format the date field to display the day in the three-letter format. On entry into the field, it will revert to the locale format. So if you set the format to "ddd mm/dd/yyyy" it will show Fri 01/01/2010 when not in the field. On entry to the field it will show 1/1/2010.
