try http://vblib.virtualave.net, there is a function call AllowsOnlyData in vbKeyboard which might help. put the function in the textbox keypress event.

Hi:
Thanks for your reply, but I cannot find this function form that website.

download the DLL and register it. add a reference to the DLL and you will need to create an instance of vbKeyboard as below

dim vbKeyboard as new vbKeyboard

then you can call

vbKeyboard.AllowsOnlyDate

Do validation on LostFocus event. Something like

If left(txtMyDate,3) <> "/" then msgbox "Invalid Format"
If mid(txtMyDate,6,1) <> "/" then msgbox "Invalid Format"
etc
