I am creating a word form with a date field in it. I
insert a text form field and change the type to date. I
then make the date format MMM-yy. After locking it if I
type in any date from a year other than the current one it
changes back to the current year. Example would be like
this: I enter MAR-05. When I tab out of the feild it
changes to MAR-04. Any suggestions on how to fix this? It
happens in Word 97,2000,2002. Tried on Windows 98,NT,XP.
