CFMX 7 : Mask

[Hanno1962]

Hi, I am trying to use the mask on inputting data. However, I am able to submit
my form even if the mask is not completed.

Example : Mask : XX-999
It allows me to submit BE-1, whereas I would like to enforce the 3 digits. Any
ideas what I am doing wrong here ?

I'd suggest looking into validating forms using regular expressions:

Thank you, will do.

But I would have liked it better if I could do it under Flash forms as well.

I don't have time to test it, but I use masks in MSAccess. At least for access if the entry is required and numberic, use a 0 instead of 9
and '&' signs instead of XX

like:
&&-000
