I think marc is talking about something other than the date format 
issue.  Marc, do you mean that if the user types 06/12/02, you want it 
_immediately_ to reformat itself to 06/12/2002?  On the region, as you 
move up and down through rows, the row is probably refreshing and 
redisplaying, but when you just tab through a form after entering it a 
date, it doesn't automatically refresh. You could do this with a 
playback file that plays backs the keystrokes for the full date, or you 
could have an EEP execute a SAVEROW, which will redraw the 
dates. You could also set an expression that sets a variable equal to 
the column, and another expression that sets the column equal to that 
variable, and it would refresh immediately. You will have to play with 
the order of expressions and both edit and enter mode, and you will 
have to be sure that the form settings don't assume they should make 
the field uneditable. Also, in a scrolling region this would be a pain, 
because you will get a "shadow" of the preceding row's variable value.

vMyDate = DateCol
DateCol = .vMyDate
