John,
   You should have given a little more info on what you have tried so far,
and how that failed.

   Check out AutoTab Property in Help. It explains how to use an input
mask, and use the AutoTab property to move the cursor when you have
satisfied the mask requirements.
    If a field has an input mask of LL and AutoTab is set to Yes, then
entering "AB" in the field will cause the cursor to go to the next field in
the Tab Order as soon as the "B" is entered.
