Hi all.

I have a form with a text box with an input mask like this:
AAAAAAAAA;;_

this allows 9 characters. but what if the text is only 8 characters? the users are getting the error 'the value you entered is not appropriate for this input mask'

At first the text box was to have only 9 char so it worked fine, but now they added an 8 character choice as well.
 
Perhaps AAAAAAAAa;;

The lower case signifies optional entry.
