Changing mask on form
Hi
I've got a small problem. I'm in the process of designing an application for inspection process on production line. one of the issues I came across is input masks. scanned serial numbers have to be of specific format, i.e TKCA0CH123456MUR1111 in this mask: 1st three characters (TKC) don't change 4th chcnges depending of month and is a letter 5th is a number representing year so it changes every january 6th character (C) doesn't change 7th (H) is a subject to changes, always a letter 8th-13th are set of 6 random numbers 14th is a letter and last 6 character change randomly so initialy mask would be \T\K\CL0\C\H000000L&&&&&&, which access in changing to "TKC"L0"CH"000000L&&&&&. problem is that the 7th character is a subject to important design changes, that can occur once or twice a year. the application has an admin panel where specific users can track serial numbers, print reports, etc. what I need to do is add a form, or something, that will allow admin user to change serial number input mask on the form used for scanning numbers (without opening form in design view and I hope my explanation of problem is clear enough thanks for any help |
