Combo Box From Table/Query

[Bruister via AccessMonster.com]

I have a table of part numbers using input mask to create format 1234-56-7899.
When I import the list via table or query to the combo box, the drop down
list doesnt show the hyphens, just the 8 consecutive numbers? I have done
this many times with no issues. What have I missed. Thanks in advance.

No way to tell, since you didn't tell us anything about the combo box.

What's the datatype? Number, or (much better) Text? What's the input mask?
What's the Rowsource of the combo? What is its Format property, or its
InputMask property?
