    Brilene

    I am using Access 2002. I have one column named Date. On my form i have a Month Calendar. I have the column as Date/Time. My problem is it will not save the date to the access. I have The Calendar linked to the column named Date. Although it did save it one time. What am i doing wrong

    Date is a reserved word in Access.

    In that case as Orange suggests, do not name any object (field, form, table, query, etc.) a reserved word name or you can get unexpected results. http://www.allenbrowne.com/AppIssueBadWord.html

    Date--Reserves Word

    The way to get around this word date is as i did. I changed my field name and set it to text. This seems to work.
