Thank you all for your time. It appears the fix is beyond the scope of my ability and having to type the year as needed seems to be the best course of action for us.

I have an Access 2010 database that I enter purchase orders into. By default when I enter a ship date the program inputs the current year which isn't a big deal until November and December of a given year, at that time the orders I'm entering have a mix of ship dates of the current and the coming year. How can I make the program recognize that when I enter a ship date of say, January whatever, I mean January of the coming year and not the current...
