I now have a updated version of my Custom Edit Mask File. If you (like me) use a wide variation of edit masks for the DBControls in Delphi, then this is for you. It has a ton of edit masks that Borland/Inprise left out. To install the file, download the file then save it in your ..\borland\delphi4\bin\ directory. Then when selecting an edit mask just click on the 'Mask...' button and select the 'Custom' mask file. Email me if you have any questions. Download the Custom.dem file.
