PRB: Weekday Disappears While Editing Long Date Format Field
'Article ID: Q96970

Creation Date: 01-APR-1993

Revision Date: 01-DEC-1996' The information in this article applies to:


 * Microsoft Access versions 1.0, 1.1, 2.0, 7.0, 97

SYMPTOMS

Novice: Requires knowledge of the user interface on single-user computers.

When you edit a date field that is formatted as Long Date, the week day disappears from the field. The week day reappears when you exit the field

CAUSE

A date is stored as a number that is parsed to display the format that you choose. All data types have certain formats that Microsoft Access can parse. The week day is not parsed, and therefore it is removed from the date when you begin to edit the date field.

STATUS

This behavior is by design.
