date format required

i want to input date in form dd-mm-yy. only 8 charaters with - - in-between. can you give me code?

Use the format function:

VB Code:

Format(Now, "dd-mm-yy")

Substitute "Now" for the date variable you want to use

- gaffa

thanx,
but i want - - as display in text.box & size of box should be 8 characters only. how to do?
