How to tell when input mask data entry is complete

[Jean9]

How might one be able to tell when the user has completed entering a date in a field with a short date input mask? I was checking for length of the data on the KeyPress event to capture when the user had keyed 8 characters because I want to set focus to the next field when they have completed entering the date but the len function only returns null.
Thanks in advance

Apparently you had some code that you aren't sharing. Did you check the Text property?

What I ended up finding was that I needed to set the AutoTab property of the field to true and that eliminated the need for any code. Gotta love those easy fixes....
