Add a condtion that matches a pattern and this patter should correspond to /d/d/d-/d/d/d where /d is a number. This will force people to enter the field in the format you require. In addition, I&#39;d add placeholder text to the field that says &quot;please enter in 000-0000 format&quot; and maybe even a screen tip. You can acccess those guidance text options via the properties dialog.</p> <p>Best of luck!</p>https://www.infopathdev.com:443/forums/thread/62048.aspxWed, 08 Dec 2010 02:15:14 GMT033a2e2d-04e2-4a9d-be01-a4634161eefd:62048Natalie Maher0https://www.infopathdev.com:443/forums/thread/62048.aspxhttps://www.infopathdev.com:443/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=41&PostID=62048<p>I am trying to format a text box for australian bsb numbers which should look like 000-000.&nbsp; I&nbsp;have seen posts for formatting telephone numbers but&nbsp;i cant seem to be able to edit the formula properly to get this to work.
