Why is your masked textbox static ? Unless you've set its enabled propety to false, why would it not let yuor user edit the values ? Besides, if you want to rip off the value in the maskedtextbox and insert it into your SQL statement, I believe you'd have to do this:

statement2 = "UPDATE suratarahan SET letterDate = '" & MaskEdBox2.Text & "'"

Why are you trying to read the mask property ? Can you be a little more clear about your objective - that'd help in getting a better reply.
