[QUOTE="John W. Vinson, post: 13989741"] An input mask is simply not capable of doing what you want. The *only* thing it can do is control what valid keystrokes can be entered. 05/11/2010 and 11/05/2010 are both valid dates, and both will be accepted by an input mask of 00/00/0000; there is no option on a mask of saying "this zero needs to be part of a month, and this other zero is part of a year" - to the mask engine, it's just keystrokes! The only way I can think of to ensure valid dates is to use a date picker tool. Second best would be to use a dd-mmm-yyyy format (27-May-2010), with an input mask 00-AAA-0000, forcing entry of the three letter month name abbreviation. [/QUOTE]
