Fixed Format Data Entry

[jmbter]

FMP 7 indicates when you do not enter in a date correctly (for example using 12/12/12 rather than 12/12/2012). Is there a way to specify the way data is entered into a field for example similar to the previous date validation? I want a field to ALWAYS be in the form "333333-AB-22"
Numbers and letters may change but the format will always be 6 numbers, hyphen, 2letters, hyphen, 2 numbers. Thanks a thousand....again (you guys have been right on about everything thus far),

why not use 3 fields and compund them should you need to store them as 1?
[field1]-[field2]-[fied3]
u could then validate each field individually as being required,number, alpha etc.
All the best!
