Format a TextBox for Date Entry 1

[dvannoy]

Is it possible to create say an input mask for a text box?? I have text boxes that users enter dates into..I would like it to be simple so they dont have to enter the /..

Thanks

Have you looked into the Masked Edit Box. Its a separate component which you can add to the project. Good Luck

you could even try this one:

private sub text1_lostfocus
if isdate(text1.text) then
text1.text = format(text1.text,"MM/DD/YYYY&quot
else
msgbox "Invalid date"
text1.setfocus
end if
end sub

Have you looked at DateTimePicker Control?
You can easily control display format and output format and it's very easy for the user Let me know if this helps
