I restored a copy of the database from
yesterday and the format 000-000-0000;1;_ worked properly. I then
unloaded the form from the restored DB and reloaded it in the failing DB and it
now works properly. Somehow the format must be corrupted in the forms
table.

mask in form
Hmmm...I used to have the same problem, but I was not
up-to-date on the latest version.
What
I did was go to the format help screen, and used the cut and paste feature to
pop it into the format field instead of typing it, and it seemed to work after
that. I don't know why, but it happened a couple times.
Hope
this helps

One of my clients called today and said that they are getting errors
when entering telephone numbers. I investigated and the problem and found
that the format mask 000-000-0000;1;_ produces an error (The form or table has
not been modified in six months). I tried changing the mask to
999-999-9999;1;0 and it fails but with different symptoms. As soon as you
enter the first digit it skips to the next field.
I did
add a form to the database this morning but it does not use or modify any of
the fields or tables used by the failing form.
Any
idea what may be causing this problem?
