Re: fixed format data entry

I don't think you can do this by one filed only.

Subject:  fixed format data entry





Hello guys. I would like to ask for any ideas on how to do this:

In a data entry screen, I need to display a field in this format:

XXXX-XXXXX

where X's are characters.

I need to have the hypen protected using only 1 field, but the EDTWRD
does not work on characters.

I know that it's possible to divide the fields into 2, but how do I do
it using only one field?

TIA
