Need help with an input mask

[mondoray]

Guys,

I have a field on a form (and the associated table)that has the input mask set as:

00\-00\-000

As the data is entered it allows the operator to enter without inseting the dashes. When the data is displayed (field lostfocus) the dashes are missing and I'm left with:

0406987

What I'm after is for it to be displayed as 04-06-987.

How can I fix it?

Thks

Hey mondoray - try this...Select the input mask and click edit list. Add a new mask give it a description, input mask = 00-00-000, sample data = 00-00-000 and mask type = Text/Unbound. Then select your new mask from the list. Click Next, Next, and then store the data with the symbols. Hope this helps.
