Help on Input Mask

[sharonbl]

I have a simple database asking user to enter eg. P/2222/1234F.
After every record is added, I'll clear the txtbox. However, when user uses the mouse to click on the txtbox (with input mask) to input the data, err msg will pop up and if user uses keyboard (Enter key or arrow key) instead of the mouse, everything go smoothly....Why is that so??

Can somebody enlighten me?

Thanks a lot

Is it always P/2222/1234F which is entered or is that subject to change?

If so why not just set that to the default value for the text box and set the text box visible property to no.

Or if it changes and that is the format i.e.

"text"/"text"/"text"

in the Validation Rule for the text box put:

Like"****/****/*****"
