hello

This is a newbie question, but here goes.  My form has a combobox in the
header (cboYear) where the user selects a year, say 2007.  The detail section
of the form then shows customer records in a continuous form.  

One of the fields is txtDate.  I'd like the user to just enter, say, 11/6
and have the date November 6, 2007 stored in the underlying table for later
use in reports.  The user currently spends a long time keying in dates or
selecting from a calendar.  It would go much quicker if she could just enter,
for example, 11/6  12/31  1/9  etc. on the numeric keypad  to get Nov 6, 2007
 Dec 31, 2007  Jan 9, 2007  etc.

What's a good way to do this?

Much thanks
Becky
