Dan, I ran into the same problem with telephone numbers. Below is the code that I use On Exit EEP from the field to clear out the entry.
Mask. 999-999-9999;1;_ SET VAR vphone_no_val TEXT = NULL GETPROPERTY idHOMETELE TEXTVALUE 'vPHONE_NO_VAL' IF vphone_no_val = '000-000-0000' OR vphone_no_val = ' - -' THEN PROPERTY idHOMETELE textvalue '' ENDIF RETURN John Engwer (412) 751-2433 From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Dan Goldberg Sent: Friday, May 20, 2011 11:05 AM To: RBASE-L Mailing List Subject: [RBASE-L] - Formatting question I have a db edit field in a form with the date format mask set to: 00/00/0000;1;_ The problem I have is after you enter it you cannot delete it. I have tried the delete key and the backspace key but it will not let you go to another field. In the past I had to put a button next to it that used a property to clear it out as a work around. Has anybody ran into this? Dan Goldberg MIS Manager Lance Camper Mfg Corp 661-949-3322 Ext 252
