I am trying to make a text box that will accomodate any numbers in the sequence of XXX-XXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX
how would I do this? I tried the arbitrary mask but I don't know how to make it so it can use any number 0-9. If you know how to do this please let me know! Thanks!

Hi imacinit2,

In the empty field that displays below the Special Options box when you choose Arbitrary Mask use "9" to take only numbers 0-9, in your case it would be 999-9999-99999-99999

If you want to see what other options are available look in the Help file under Text Fields, Formatting.

Hope that helps,

Dimitri
