A newbie here - I am putting several input masks into a date/time field in a
table. The mask is the usual: 99\->L<\-00;0;- and I have a couple as:
00\->L<\-00;0;- . I know from reading that 9 signals not a response necessary
and 0 is required response. However, the lead 99 or 00 doesn't seem to make
any difference - what am I missing. ALso, I am unable to find or figure out
what ;0;- means at the end of the mask. Would appreciate some enlightenment.
Thanks. Norm.
 
Open the form in design view
Select the control
Put the cursor in the Input Mask property
Press the F1 Key - Help should open with a detailed explanation

If you don't get help to display.,
0 = Store the data as it is shown on the screen, anything else means just
store the typed characters
- = Use this character as the placeholder until something is entered.
