Thanks but things are working now that I've changed the code to:

mskOrderDate.Text = Format(Now, "mm/dd/yyyy")


>>I have a weird problem using this control I can't figure out. On my development machine when I set a date value to this control via:
>>
>>mskOrderDate.Text = DateValue(Now)
>>
>>is can see it appear in my form. However, when I distribute the application, it doesn't display anything on user's screen. Nothing, blank. Does anyone know what's happening? Thanks.
