How to use a default value within an input mask

K

Kathy

The telephone number field in the database I am working on
uses an input mask, i.e. !\(999") "000\-0000;;_ The area
code is almost always going to be the same so I would like
to display a default value, but continue using the input
mask for entry of the last seven digits. How do I
continue using the input mask and display a default value
in the area code portion of the mask? Thanks in advance
for any help you can provide.

I'm afraid you are asking the input mask to do more than it's capable of.
You might consider separating the Area code into its own field, setting a
default for that field, and then concatenating it with the phone number for
display.
