Default formatting fields - 06-17-2007 , 07:33 AM






Hi all,
I am very new to Filemaker having used Access for 10 years. I want to format
fields for zip codes and phone numbers although I cant seem to figure out
how. In Access its called input mask but I dont see anything like that here.
Can anyone steer me in the right direction?

Thanks in advance for your help and Happy fathers day to all.
AJ

If the number format menu in layout mode does not serve your intentions,
you'll have to create a separate calc field and use text functions.
