   REc;d email from Liz which states "You need to make a new format that doesn't   
   do mm/dd/yy, but mmddyy."   
      
   I tried that and when I entered 121507 I got the same thing and no separation   
   like 12/15/07.  I have tens of thousands of different dates and times I have   
   to manually input. Therefore, if I can enter dates without inputing the "/"   
   between month, date, year and also the same with time....if I can enter time   
   without using ":" between hr,min....but have the same results as 12:15 then   
   I have saved a lot of input.   
      
   I know ther is a way, and I am not a guru on Paradox 8, but I can input like   
   crazy....smiling
