[AccessD] Entering an ISO date with input mask and full validation

[Gustav Brock]

Happy New Year to all.

I've made a "sister" demo of the time entry textbox - now for a date entry in the ISO yyyy-mm-dd format.

Again, a demo is included, ready to download and run:

The error catching is somewhat different, but the inputmask plays a big role.

Emne: [AccessD] Entering 24-hour time with input mask and full validation

Hi all

Years ago - in Access 2.0 - I made a form with a bound textbox for 24-hour fool-proof input.
Recently, I had this need again, so I brushed it up for A2013/2016 and wrote down the thoughts behind as a note on Experts-Exchange.

Here it is, including a demo ready to run:

It makes heavy use of an inputmask, the textbox's KeyPress event, and the form's Error event.
