Yes, you can use input masks in queries. However, the phrase 'as you type in
what you want to search for' indicates that what you are really looking for
is not an input mask in a query, but an input mask in the "Enter Parameter
Value" dialog box. If so, the answer is no, what you see is what you get
when you use the built-in dialog box. But if you use your own custom form
instead of the built in dialog box, you can use an input mask in the form.
To use a form instead of the built-in dialog, change the expression in the
criteria row to Forms!NameOfForm!NameOfControl where "NameOfForm" is the
name of the form you want to use and "NameOfControl" is the name of the
control (text box, combo box) on the form in which you will enter the value.
The form must be open when the query runs.
