If you're not ready to spend on 3rd party, VB6 does have the MS Masked
Edit control (msmask32.ocx). Under Project/Components/Controls, select
it, then it will show up on your toolbox.

Not easily.  We bought some useful tools from ComponentOne one of which
does this.  Pretty reasonably priced too.  You might try Codehound.com
or Vb2theMax  or PlanetSourceCode for freebies too.

I should know how to do this, but I don't.

I'm building a small VB6 app.  On the interface there is a text box that
a user will key a date into.  I'd like to apply an Access-style Input
Mask to the text box so the user doens't have to remember to type
slashes.

How do I do it?
