MS Access Forum / Forms Programming / July 2007Input Mask is truncating
I have the following input mask on my form \1:999999 This will always give the user 1: and allow them to enter up to 6 numbers after the colon. But, if the first number after the colon is 1 for example 1234, it truncates the number one and only displays 234. So, I type: 1:1234 and it returns 1:234. Has anyone found a solution for this? Please help. Roz Not sure how you are using this number, but try "1:"999999 (or \1\:999999) This will give you 1:and your number.

Guessing here... but : is a valid input mask character too, so try quoting it: \1\:999999 John W. Vinson [MVP] |
