zipcode

[alex]

I have a access data I'm doing a mailing
went into (report) and (labels) put the zipcode
comes out as "123456789" instead of "12345-6789
any idea the (input mask) shows the zip as 12345-6789

The Input Mask property controls how input looks but the masks are not
generally stored with the data. If you want to control how output looks on
a report/labels, use the Format property.

Answered elsewhere.
Please do not multi-post. If you feel you must post the same question
to more than one newsgroup (and it's seldom necessary), cross-post by
adding each additional newsgroup in the To Newsgroups: box, separated
by a comma.
This way an answer in one newsgroup will be seen in each of the
others. More readers will see the response and learn, and less time
will be spent on duplicate answers.
