You might want to check out the RxLib components. They include a very nice
DateEdit component.
Go to http://rx.demo.ru/

Re:TDBEdit and a Mask

You need to create a TField for the date field you are using.
Double-click on your TTable component to bring up the fields editor,
then right-click to add fields. Add the date field you are using.
Then select that field and go to the Object Inspector.

In the Object Inspector you will find an input edit mask option. Use
that to set the input mask you want for the date.
