How to allow emptying of a date text box?

[Dean Slindee]

A textbox date field has an edit mask of 00/00/0000;0;_


The user put a valid date into the field, but some time later discovered
that it was premature to enter any date value.

So, the question is: How do you code an edit pattern to allow the removal of
a date value, when not needed?



Thanks,

An input mask will not prevent you storing a Null in a field. Just delete
the entry.

If the field's Required property is set to Yes, you will not be able to
leave the field blank.
