Hello Everyone,
Have a question concerning using Format Mast in DB and Variable
controls in Forms.
On a db edit control you set up a format mask for phone number:
(000)000-0000
If you enter characters in the field but change your mind and delete your
entry you are not allowed to exit the field.
When you delete your entered characters you are left with (___)___-_____ and
the form does not allow you to exit the field in this manner. These columns
has no rules or restrictions they are simple TEXT 13 columns.
I am able to work around this issue by using the Right Click EEP with:
PROPERTY <componentID> TEXTVALUE ''. When you do a right click with this
code you are allowed to exit the field.
I am hoping there is a simple way that the field can be null out
leaving it blank without having to write code on each field. There are a
lot of forms in this application and the previous programmer loved format
mask. This issue annoys the daylights from the user.
TIA,
