Hi All,
     using vb6 pro. I have a masked box for a phone number. the mask is
"(###) ###-####" I Place the default area code in the masked box so the
user
doesnt have to enter it every time like so:

mskPhoneNumber.Text = "(716)"
mskPhoneNumber.SelStart = 6
mskPhoneNumber.SetFocus

Question:
 If the last 4 digits of the phone number are known, how do I place them
in
my masked box so the user doesnt have to type them.
Should look like this example below with the cursor placed in position
for
the entry of the first 3 digits after the area code. I tried everything
and
cant get the last 4 digits in the correct location in the mask.

(716) ___-5487

Thanks John

Use a mask like this:

(716) ###-5487

If you want a 9 in the number, you have to precede it with \ as in

(70\9) ###-5\97\9
