Password<BR><BR></FONT></DIV>
<P>I have a control where the customer enters a PIN and I am using the Input
Mask - Password to echo asterisks (*) back to the screen.</P>
<P>The PIN is always 4 digits long and I want to AutoTab after the 4th digit
but can't seem to edit the Input Mask down to 4 characters. It seems to have a
mind of its own.</P>
<P>Is it possible please.</P>
