When I input data in my database I get a popup that says, "The value you entered isn't appropriate for the input mask '99/99/0000;;#" Can someone help me with this error?

Open the table in design view and for that field look at the properties, specifical the input mask property.
Typically, input masks are a bad idea. They cause more frustrations than anything else.
Thanks,
I used to use the input masks. It worked great for a while. I called up support, and they wanted me to pay over $500.00 to help with this issue. I don't even own the program and it is not my fault that it happened. I think I will just use the text field for this from now on. Thank you.
Much Thanks
