Input Mask question

P

When I use the wizard to create an input mask for a phone number field I get
!\(999") "000\-0000;0;_
or
!\(999") "000\-0000;;_

The former happens if I specify storing the data with the symbols, the
latter if I specify storing without the symbols. My question is , why do I
see it sometimes specified like this
!\(999") "000\-0000;1;_

What is the difference between the a 0 or 1 being in that last place?

Also, what does pound (!) symbol do for me. I removed it and saw no
difference although it is supposed to "Causes the input mask to display from
right to left, rather than from left to right."

It's just like leaving a function's parameter blank, it defaults to a certain
value, in this case 1.

Thanks. That makes sense. I tried it out. Putting a 1 there is the same as
putting nothing. It will not store the symbols with either.

Any clue on my second question about the ! ?
