L = User must enter an Alpha character...
\_ = causes an underscore to be entered...
AAAA = User must enter 4 Numeric digits.

Put the \ character before the underscore in the input
mask. This example capitalizes initial character, and
requires the character and all four digits:
L\_0000

thks for replying.
it works. my mistake was that i also used the Format
property to format the table field with uppercase. it
seems that the format property overwrite the input
property.
thks anyway for being so kind.
 
Berni,
My mistake... L\_0000 is the correct input mask. (0s for 4 required
digits)
