OK, thanks. I have a functioning app now and was going to start writing
some validation code. Then I discovered the dMaskedTextBox and thought
that maybe using them would be easier than a lot of validation. I was
going to use a test app so I wouldn't take a chance of messing up
something that worked.
I will need the phone one. Also will need #{8} and something like
AA|### . Actually until Ed has a chance to work his magic, it will give
me an opportunity to learn to learn to hand code Dabo.
Regards, Jim
