Does VB.net 2003 have input masks that you can set for controls like
Microsoft Access has? I know VB6 didn't.

Thanks,

No. VB.NET 2003 doesn't offer masked textboxes. Visual Basic 2005 will offer
this.

Until Visual Basic 2005 is released there are custom controls:

VB 6 did. "Microsoft Masked Edit Control 6.0" - MSMask32.OCX

Actually, after searching MSDN, the only thing I could find was that.
And even then, it was listed under Visual Basic .Net reference for
legacy controls....

Sorry,

this was not very precise.

It has nothing to do with VB.NET, it is the lack of support in the
Windows.Forms-Controls.

If you set the "PasswrodChar" Property of a text box to "*" - then it will
work

Have a look at the Compona suite. it has many masked text controls

www.compona.com

You may have a look at www.componentone.com. They have many controls for
ActiveX and .NET. (e.g. Studio Enterprise for .NET) which include masked
input boxes.
