Input Mask Wizard

How to delete a custom input mask ?

Sometimes, when I enter a new input mask, it does not appear in the list
after I close the wizard. When it does magically appear I cannot get rid of
it.

Is there a way of managing custom input masks sepearately to table design ?

Many thanks.

How do you delete it from the Wizard or from the table, form, or report? If
the latter 3, open the item in design mode and go to the properties for the
item you want to remove the Input Mask from. Delete the Input Mask in the
properties. Deleting it from the Wizard, I don't know. The Edit button lets
you change and add one, but I see no option to delete one. It is probably
stored in a file or the registry and you could probably do a search by
creating one called FindMe or some such name that would probably only exist
for this purpose.

As far as managing them at other than table design, you can set an Input
Mask in the controls on a form and report also. Is this what you're asking?

I did find a solution thru Google (Firefox not IE). In \Document and
Settings\User\Application Data\... there is a database ACWZUSRT .MDT that
contains Wizards User Data. The table is im_TblInputMask. Take a look.

Thanks for the info. I'll add that to my list of things.
