Try using a Masked Control.
Your best choice is probably a Masked Edit Control.
How would i go about doing this masked control??
Go to Project|Components and select the Microsoft Masked Edit control. It will then appear in your toolbox and you can put one on your form and set its Mask property to ##/##/##
