Hello all,
I have a textbox that I want to default (read force) a prefix containing an alpha-numeric value such as '1234-0C'. The first 4 numbers come from a project number that I don't want the users to be able to change. I was thinking of using an inputmask...

object.inputmask=str(projnum,4)+'-'+repl('!',10)

It works except when there is a "9" in projnum. Any ideas other than breaking it up into 2 textboxes?.

TIA
