Don't bother with this post as I finally figured the problem out. It had to do with the highlight colors.  The data was still displayed, I just couldn't see it Thanks anyway...…….Bob

I have a new problem, when I place a new entryfield on a form (old or new), the field will accept date but you can't see it until you "save".  Then the data is visable and was entered in a table. I don't have a clue what caused the problem or haow to corect it.
