Change the input mask on a field

[RickDB]

say I have a drop down list to declare a data type, is it possible to update the input mask for another field based on this data type?

Example:

Input Type A : 000/000/0000
Input Type B : 0/00/000/0000

Seems simple enough with some VB If Then code, I just have no idea how it would be done, and my searches have been ineffective.

Thanks for any help.

if your target field is text1 then in the after update event of the combo box just put something like


if a... then Text1.InputMask = "999/999/999"
if b... then Text1.InputMask = "99*9-999(999)"

this displays the variable masked accordingly

just search for help on inputmask
