Input Mask for different control numbers
Input Mask for different control numbers
I use a macro/query to create control numbers (A3341-05-11-XX01) based on differing shop codes --- 3341 3341A A3341 A3341A The control number is broken down like – A – Special type shop 0000 – Department number A – Sections or sub-sets in the department 00 – Year 00 – Month XX – Initials 00 – Sequential records in the same month by the same person. I need an Input Mask that will accommodate all of the shop code formats. If I use ?0000?\-00\-00\-LLCa for 3341 I get spaces where the letter entry is optional. If I use a0000a\-00\-00\-LLCa then 3341 displays as 33410511XX. Any suggestions?

They are evil enough when your data always has the same format. -- I don't check the Email account attached to this message. Send instead to... RBrandt at Hunter dot com

if the control number is being generated by a macro/query, where is it that you need to use an input mask? do you mean setting the Format property, instead? if you explain the process in some detail, we might be able to come up with a solution that works. hth "KARL DEWEY" wrote in message ...
