Can anyone get me started with creating an inputmask or input format for a
textbox.

for instance a want a textbox preformatted with ../../.... (dd/mm/yyyy) so
that the user
only has to type day, month and year. After that i want to add the textbox
entry in a
mdb date field through a recordset addnew - update

thanks

Instead of using a textbox, you want to use the Masked Edit Control.  It
allows you to set a Mask property:

        MEB1.Mask = "##/##/####"

Then you can use the Text property to update your DB field:

        MyRS!DateField = #MEB1.Text#
