Access - Dash mark won't print on labels

T

Theresa

In Access, I'm creating labels, and some of my numbers have dash marks in
them, ie. soc. security numbers.
The dash marks will not print.

If it is SSN or phone number the dash may not be stored and therefore will
not print unless you format it in the report with dashes.

In a query:

Expr1: Left([SSN],3) & "-" & Mid([SSN],4,2) & "-" & Right([SSN],4)

in a form or report text box:

= Left([SSN],3) & "-" & Mid([SSN],4,2) & "-" & Right([SSN],4)

Where SSN is the name of your Social Security field.

Now, let me get on your case about storing personal information not required
by law. Unless this is a payroll program, you do not need to do it.
