Rick,
There's a textbox class over on my website that emulates a Quicken date field.
It's under Q&A, Forms.
>OK I admit it, I've led a sheltered life (at least for non-MS and FoxPro developed applications). A user asked for a Date text box that used the "Quicken" style hot keys. I said "No Problem!". Well, I got the fact that '+' advances the day and '-' decrements it, but what are the other conventions that I'll need to implement?
