The standard TextBox control doesn't support masked editing. You have to use the old ActiveX MaskedEdit control for this. A reference for which you can find here[^] on MSDN. RageInTheMachine9532 "...a pungent, ghastly, stinky piece of cheese!" -- The Roaming Gnome

Here's instruction for including the control in your project: [^] Are you familiar with the MaskedEdit control in VB6? It's just about the same. If you aren't familiar, then you can Google it or look further on vbcity.com, just remember you are looking for VB6 instructions, not VB.NET.
