social security number

Hello!

I´m looking for a macro that helps me to check out social security numbers
in a form. I want the macro to check that the written number got the full
length and so on. If you know how to script this or know where to find some
help, I would get very happy.

/Sincerely Kif

Can you use an InputMask on the control? Open the form in design view, click
on the control and then select InputMask from the properties dialog. I
believe there is a builtin SSN mask ...

you could always write some code in the OnExit event of the control...
although an input mask would probably be better, since it will control
the length, too, I think.
