You can't clear the contents of a MaskEdBox control by setting the Text property to a null string if the MaskEdBox's Mask property contains delimiter. In fact, you must include those separators in the value you assign to the Text property, otherwise you get Error 380 - Invalid property value. A simpler way to clear the contents of this control is to temporarily clear the Mask property, then assign a null string to the Text property, and finally restore the original Mask property, as in: Click here to copy the following block Private Sub cmdClear_Click()   Dim tmp As String   With MaskEdBox1     tmp = .Mask     .Mask = ""     .Text = ""     .Mask = tmp   End With End Sub
