    Is there any way to create a "mask" or format a textbox for phone numbers or Zip codes? I not looking for validation but a mask that will add (),-, ect as a user types in info.

    You could put code inside the OnAfterChange event of the textbox to accomplish this, but doing it "as the user types" would be quite difficult.

    Let us know if you need any code examples to do the formatting within the OnAfterChange event.

    If you really want to do it as the user types it will involve some pretty cool trickery, maybe I'll try something out if I get bored. Anyways, I ramble - good luck!

    In addition, you could layout multiple fields in your view with static dashes in between.
