I am working on MS Access 2003.
I have a field that I want to start with "PM--" and then allow the user to add 6 numbers after that. I have forgotten how to set this up in my Database. Can someone please help me? Aurora

Aurora If the field ALWAYS contains PM-- at its beginning, then you would do best not to store it at all; you can *display* it by using a Format property like "PM\-\-000000" How do you want to handle fewer than six digits: prohibit entry? leading zeros? trailing blanks? -- John W.
