unable to get Date value from string

S

Salam80

My dear friends: I am an MS access beginner. I developed a database an
i created a date field. To fill that date frield in the form, instea
of a single textbox, I created three drop-down lists for dd, mm an
yyyy. I wanted that date field to take its value from the three lists
I used the DateValue() function. It works but only inside the form. I
converts the date-like string into date value, but that only on th
form. When I enter records, I go back to the table and I dont see th
dates.
Please tell me how to use the three drop-down (combo) lists to obtain
date value that can be stored in the db table.

And a usenet beginner by all accounts too, why post the same question twice
in different threads?

You are better off saying something descriptive in the Subject line rather
than a generic plea for help.

My mistake. I see that the first posting was the generic plea for help, and
that this one is more specific. Since the first thread elicited a response
and this one has so far only addressed usenet protocol I lost track of the
fact that this is in fact the revised posting.

The subject of this post seemed pretty clear and descriptive to me.

Hey Keith. I sent the first question but I realized that the thread
title doesn't reflect what I need. That is why I have re-sent my
question again with different title.
thanks
