hey, one more thing. what about a price format. any suggestions on that? guessing the input mask has to be dynamic in nature. ie $10.10, $1000.10, $ 10000.10

Tip.. Dollar signs only make your data harder to read.. cluttering your presentation. If a field is dollar.. place the dollar symbol in a Label caption next to your text box.

Formatting a text box for a Date

Visual Basic is Microsoft’s event-driven programming language and integrated development environment (IDE) for its Component Object Model (COM) programming model. It is relatively easy to learn and use because of its graphical development features and BASIC heritage. It has been replaced with VB.NET, and is very similar to VBA (Visual Basic for Applications), the programming language for the Microsoft Office product line.
