All of you probably know that the maskedit control ain't the best for handling dates. That only leaves me one choice: the vb6 datepicker.

Are everyone using the datepicker or am I missing something? The datepicker's value CAN'T be set to NULL (unless you want the control to have a checkbox in it and the NULL value is simply grayed).

What's the solution to this? Let's imagine you have a form with a customer's informations, including his DOB. Using a datepicker would NEED a default DOB. You will all agree that this MUST be avoided.

Thank for your time...
