Hi

Can you help me with the above.

I am trying to add an inputmask for date entry to a text
box.  How do I do it????

Thanks

Dave

there is a control specifically for that
right-click the toolbox and select Components from the menu and select
Microsoft Masked Edit Control v??
add this to your form and set the Format property to how you want your date
formatted

You cant do this with a TextBox.  you can with MaskedEditBox.
"???, ## ,####" will do it.  
This forces the user to enter Sep, 03 2001, with the commas inserted
automatically.

However, if there is any chance of your programme being used outside
the USA/Canada, I would not recommend this method.

Better to allow the user to input the date into a plain text box in
whatever way they choose.  Then in the lost focus event put the
following:

If IsDate(text1.text) then
        Format(Text1.text,"short date")
else
        msgbox"Invalid Date"
end if

This will format the date according to the users local settings.
