inputmask question

[Jesper F]

I've defined 00-00-0000 for at date textbox.
But if the user enters only say "01" and then wants to
leave the textbox the message with "..the entered text
doesn't fit input mask.." occurs.

Can I keep the inputmask but still allow the user to leave
the partially entered data ind textbox and upon exiting
the textbox set it to null?

No. Input masks on a date field serve no purpose but to slow down a good
data entry operator who knows they can just type
1/10
for today's date.
