Hi,
Excuse me for the delay. Eric gave you a good answer.
To complete it I suggest :
After

MaskEdBox1.Text = Format(Date, "mm/dd/yy")

place a

MaskEdBox1.Format =  "@@/@@/@@"

to get the slashes right back.

Everything should then be OK.

BTW, the MaskEdit Box is a good control, but each time I need to cope with the data entered int it, I get rid of the format. I then store my data.
For example, to use a date field :

Displaying :

Mask.format = ""
Mask.text = MydateField 'in any date format
Mask.Format = "@@/@@/@@"

Storing :

Mask.format = ""
MydateField = Mask.text

I got huge problems since I write french software (format is dd/mm/yyyy !). Acccess/SQL is mm/dd/yy ! So do I.
