[AccessD] Input Masks need changed on opening

Reuben,

Ok, I'll throw my 2 cents into the ring here.

Yes, it will be possible to toggle Input Mask property settings in this 
way.  Hard to advise explicitly without seeing examples of what you are 
doing.

But... it is very likely that whatever your requirements are, they will 
be better served by validating the user's input via code, for example on 
the control's Before Update event, rather than relying on Input Masks. 
You will have a lot more flexibility to differentially validate data 
according to the user.

Regards
Steve
