Cursor won't move when Input Mask is used.

[uncle-lai]

I had searched several forums but could not find any Inut Mask question similar to mine. Could it be problem in my system only? I am running Access2000 in Windows2000. Here is what's happening, and I don't think it is normal:

When I enter data in the text box with Input Mask the cursor stays at the same position all the time, every digit I entered replaces previous digits. I have to press the Right Arrow key to move to next digit places.

Should it be normal for the cursor automatically moves to the next place as we type?

Input Mask problem

Hi,

Did you ever manage to find a solution for this? I'm having the same problem as you.

Hi John,

My mystery is still unsolved. Finally I had dropped the input mask and put a small note beside the text box instead. I also make use of the Status Bar to show comments to every input text box.

Win2K or Win98

Are you using Chinese Win2K with Chinese Access? I don't have the problem if i use chinese 98.

I am using english A2K and Windows 2K with eastern asian language turned on. Do you mean it's Win2K's language problem?

I think so

Yep, i don't have problem with same application running on Chinese Win98. Very strange but true. I've yet to find out why.

I just tried it again and it's working fine now. I remember I had updated my Office2K with service pack once, and had once cleaned out Office with Eraser2K then re-installed it again. But I didn't try the input mask for a long time, so I don't know if that would cure the input-mask problem too.

I got it working

I've got it working now. I upgrade my Office 2K to the latest service pack and the input mask works now.
