In the criteria of one of the fields in my query I have a
date that I want the user to input. How do I set it up so
that it only allows them to input the date in the format
of dd/mm/yyyy.

Thanks
 
If you are using a parameter query, then the answer is "you can't".

You can specify the datatype for the parameter to be a date with Query /
Parameters menu choice.

Otherwise, you can build a form, and validate the input to a text box using
the Input Mask.
