Default Is there a way to have fixed format in a userform?

Is it possible to have an input mask in a user form in excel? I want text
box for entering dates.

Ideally, I could have it show: "--/--/--"
And the number would fill in each black character.

Thanks

Excel's textboxes don't support this kind of thing.

You can parse/validate the entry after you get it or maybe you could use a
calendar control to get the date.

Wow, I don't see a "calendar control" as one of the option in the toolbox
though. Where do I find that option?

Thanks.

It comes with Access (I think). If you didn't install Access, then you won't
have this control.

But Ron's site has an alternative.

Hmm..... now I am wondering if I upgrade the basic which doesn't include
access. Will it just upgrade the others and leave me with access '00?

You still may want to use the free calendar control that Ron refers to.

bob,

Did you try right-clicking the toolbox Additional Controls...

Scroll down the list. Not too far from the top is "Calendar Control 11.0".
If you keep looking throught the list, you might see a couple other
different calendar controls.

HTH,

Conan
