I am needing a date format that will allow me to show the month day,year for
example december 12,2003. I made a mask >L????? #9,0000 , but it will either
leave to many blank spaces or not let me put the whole month in the spot. the
long date has the day of the week, which I do not need. Thanks.

This is not what InputMasks do: their one and only job is to restrict the
keys that the user can press. They don't do validation and they don't do
output formatting.

I think you need to put something like this in the Format property of the
textbox:

mmmm dd,yyyy

Hope that helps
