It is a single text field that will only accept A-Z, a-z, 0-9, or dash character. It can vary in length.
So it can be 123A-1 23a 35a33 Etc Dan Goldberg From: [email protected] <[email protected]> On Behalf Of Bruce Chitiea Sent: Monday, June 17, 2024 9:58 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [EXTERNAL] Re: [RBASE-L] - restricting a db edit to certain characters Dan: In the dbEdit control Properties, on the Effects tab, have you beat on the "Input Format Mask"? But questions: - Are you looking to restrict entry of certain characters [e.g. 'A' but not 'a' | 'Aa'-'Yy' but not 'Zz' | 0-8 but not 9 ]? - Are you looking to enter numbers, letters and dash(-) all within the same dbEdit control, or separate controls? - Do you mean numbers of INTEGER datatype, or ALPHANUMERIC digits? - Are you looking to combine numbers of INTEGER datatype with ALPHA text?
