In Access there is no problem forcing users to enter a spesific format. ex. a date "__.__.____" -> 12.03.2005

But how can I do that in VB???

Please...

Hi WitchHunter,

If this is only for dates use date time picker.
you can use masked edit control also.

Add conponents,

[u]date time picker</u>
Project-->Components-->Microsoft Windows common controls-2 6.0

[u]masked edit control</u>
Project-->Components-->Microsoft Masked Ed control 6.0

please let us know if you need more info.
