The MaskedTextBox control does all your wants. Get yourself well acquainted with this control.

Next, using this in a DataGridView control which you should use in VB2005 instead of DataGrid control, this is a little more complicated (but much easier than with DG!). This article basically describes all you have to do to make yourself a DGV MaskedTextBoxColumn: "How to: Host Controls in Windows Forms DataGridView Cells" http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/7tas5c80.aspx
