Textbox Formatting

Hi,

I have a textbox that I want to type a date (MM/DD/YY) into. The user wants
the slashes to appear when they start typing the date. I tried under
properties, data format, date, but that didn't give me the formatting I need.
Is there a way to do this?

thanks,

Mark

Sounds like you need some variant of the "masked edit" control. One comes
with VB, and most 3rd party control packages also offer these.
