ms access - How to allow dayname in input string when inputting a date? -


in our continuous form in access want offer combobox show 7 days dayname part of dropdown.

the combobox bound date field. can populate combobox in form load event show days in ddd dd/mm/yy format , existing dates happily shown on form so:

enter image description here

however if try , pick dropdown error:
the value entered isn't valid field.

solutions involving unbound combobox won't work continuous form.

it's kind of detail, dayname isn't absolutely necessary, , combo works fine without dayname. heavy duty data entry form optimising end user important , having daynames assist him/her.

i recreated problem , solution came have combo box row source has 2 columns , hide first column using columnwidths , second column formatted date value. when pick in combo box, value unformulated date value gives no issue.

populate combo so:

dim integer = 0 6     dim item date     item = dateadd("d", i, weekcommencingdate)     cbotimedate.additem item & ";" & format(item, "ddd dd/mm/yy") next
