Well, what do you mean?
a) He wants to enter and see:
020402 -> on exit -> 02/04/02
b) He wants to manually enter '/':
02/04/02 -> on exit 02/04/02
Which one?

for a) use a field edit mask like: '999999'
for b) it should work the edit mask '99C99C99', but it does not work
(you can't enter '/' upon the 'C' mask position).
This seems a really strange bug...

If IB_Edit is unbound, there is nothing you can set.

Anyway, your customer is really a strange guy. Try to set "Autofill"
property to true, and let me know what he will say! ;))

Is there anyone that can comfirm b) case bug?
