Hi Cetin,

Thanks for your reply. It seems that whenever I get a reply, I become more confused due to the fact that I'm presented with more options to choose from. Is there a difference between setting the Inputmask and Format properties in the Table Designer and setting it in the PEM of Form designer. If I may take a long shot, I would say that setting the properties in the Table Designer would be more effective, because it is closer to the DB, or is it a case of one is the display and the other is the way data is stored?

Petrus.
