Maybe it's easy. Sorry but I'm new.
I use VB6.
I have a form with a textbox containing date. How can I set an input mask so
that I don't have to type the slashes every time?

Please help me out with this one.
I got a (set of ) Combobox(es), set to 'dropdown list'.
I add items to the list using 'additem'

In the startform, I use the code:
Private Sub Form_Load()

integer ?
Thanks in advance,
Benny
