Re: runtime error with Mask edit control


Yes, but as MikeD says, it's better not to presume a user's date is in a
specific format. This will change the date, but it is a system-wide change.
In a corporate environment this is an acceptable practice, where sysadmins
require all users to conform to corporate standards. But mess with a home
user's computer and watch them uninstall the app PDQ.
