I want to use a input text field, that can only accept ALPHA NUMERICAL chars (from A to Z and from 0 to 9) : no special chars.
What kind of input mask format shoud I use do make this????
I've tried with >AAAAA;<ZZZZZ;>00000;<99999 but obviously this isn't the correct way to solve it...
Please help.

Excel Facts

Repeat Last Command
Pressing F4 adds dollar signs when editing a formula. When not editing, F4 repeats last command.
How do you want it displayed? Lower Case, Upper Case, optional entry, required entry?

I think you are looking for:

A Letter or digit (entry required).
a Letter or digit (entry optional).
0 Digit (0 to 9, entry required, plus [+] and minus [–] signs not allowed).
9 Digit or space (entry not required, plus and minus signs not allowed).
< Causes all characters to be converted to lowercase.
> Causes all characters to be converted to uppercase.


I think that you wanted something like:
>AAAAA0000099999
Which will equal:
All Upper Case - 5 Letters or Digits Required, 5 Digits Required, 5 Digits (Not Required).
The help feature has lots of suggestions on this topic.
