What I was worried about was that an input mask of 000000000 would not work if used in a text field...but it does...I tested it on a copy of my data.

It won't change the actual data itself. If you're needing visual clues to help the user through the data entry process, input mask is a good way to go. Susan H. Group, I have several text fields that contain numerical data stored as text. Will a numerical input mask have any effect? -- _______________________________________________ AccessD mailing list AccessD at databaseadvisors.com http://databaseadvisors.com/mailman/listinfo/accessd Website: http://www.databaseadvisors.com
