If the underlying field is numeric, then alpha characters do not apply. Are you doing some sort of conversion? If so, don't bind the textbox via controlsource. Rather, you will want to take care of this manually.


>I have a field whose controlsource is set to a numeric field within a table. Can I temporarily allow the user to type alpha characters into this field? I've tried setting the format and input mask properties to (None) - no luck. However, I can set the controlsource to (None) and it allows alpha characters.
