    Question How i prepare a Textbox for date input?

    How i prepare a Textbox for date input?
    I try using the format function:

    Me.txtFechadeEntrada.MaxLength = 8
    mascarafechaentrada = Format(Me.txtFechadeEntrada.Text, "##/##/##")

    And on saveclick this ,I need save the data to a text file with a specific format I delete the /.

    mascarafechaentrada = Format(Me.txtFechadeEntrada.Text, "######")
    Me.txtFechadeEntrada.MaxLength = 6

    But don't work because the user can type this 11112//2.

    My last choice is to use date picker control or textbox=format (Date,yy/mm/dd).
    But I prefer the user to type the date in the text box.
    Sorry for my English
    Any help is very appreciated

    You may want to use the mask edit box
    Always use [code][/code] tags when posting code.

    Use a HIDDEN TextBox to format items.
