Forgot to mention, if it's any consolation, the input masks and formats will be applied when your data reaches the underlying tables.

>I have several tables that have a large number of fields with the Format, InputMask and Caption properties set. I will be using parameratized local views of these tables for my form. Is there a way to have the view 'inherit' the Format, InputMask and Caption properties from the table? I don't want to have to retype them all. TIA
