Peter,
Help says about static inputmask. A dynamic one typically uses iif() or another expression. However if the expression is invalid it doesn't error but doesn't display something changed.

Suppose I keep all values in the same table w/o currencies and any value above 2000 is TL while 2000 or less is $ (well I certainly don't do that:) :

myGrid.Mycolumn.DynamicInputMAsk = ;
[(Iif(myTable.amount<=2000,"@R$ ##,###","@R ###,###,###.##TL"))]

PS: I might well set the currency check part on myTable's currency field and set inputmasks accordingly.
