Nadya,

Try it. Setting the txt.Value to another type at runtime completely changes it's behavior.

Put a txt on a form and two command buttons. In one click thisform.text1.Value = date() in the other thisform.text1.Value = 1234. Run the form, type some text, click a button and now you can only type the appropriate keys for that data type.
