Is there a way to apply an input mask to previous records in a table that already of data in it? EX: if I have a phone number 281-555-5555 and I want to add an input mask to it, how is that done?
I am guessing you're thinking "how would I do this in Excel".
Among other things, the similarity in appearance between an Access Table and a Spreadsheet (deliberately done by Microsoft) is deceptive.
Open the table in design mode and set the mask.
It will affect all records in your table.
