Applying input mask AfterUpdate

[Guest]

Morning,

Is it possible to apply an input mask to a number field (ie. for a phone
number) after the field has been updated instead of before as is the Access
default?

TIA

No.

The Input Mask property of a control will always be used at the time you are
entering data into the control.

If you want to determine how the data should look after entry, use the
Format property instead.

That's the answer I was looking for! Thanks for your help.
