Hi James,

try saving the inputmask in the gotfocus() of the textbox, set it to "9999999" or whatever and then set it back to what it was initially in the lostfocus().


>Hmmm, that doesn't work either ... I wonder if I've got something else set somewhere that's affecting this. In the meantime, however, I've just removed the inputmask altogether, which isn't as functional, but at least it works.
