I am trying to use an input mask for the first time. In the table properties for the field I have entered an input mask of >aaaaaa. (no quotes).
I understand this to mean, 'Convert all entries to upper case, allow letters and numbers only, entry is optional'.
But when I enter data into the control, it accepts any keystrokes and does not convert to upper case. Am I missing something here?

Try putting the input mask against the control on the form as opposed to the table itself.

Kiwiman:
Thanks. I did try that. It puts an underline in the control. I can live with that, but it also starts three characters from the left. In other words, the cursor is three characters in from the left of the control. How can I stop that from happening?

I'm not sure about that, but I think it has somethig to do with where in the control you click. I tend to use the tab to naviagate around my controls, this way it highlights the entire control, and data entry will start from character 1.
