How do I delete an entry I've added to the Input Mask Wiza..

Access 2000 - When you activate the Input mask wizard there is a button in
the lower left corner (Edit List) that allows you to add or edit items in the
Input Mask Wizard list. Once something has been added how can you delete it?

Link to the table "im_TblInputMask" in the file "ACWZUSRT.MDT" in your
profile. My file is:

C:\Documents and Settings\Duane\Application
Data\Microsoft\Access\ACWZUSRT.MDT

You may need to display hidden files and folders in order to see these.

Hi Duane,
Below is your response, however I can't seem to link to this table. I tried
File, Get External Data, Link but was unable to select ACWZUSRT.MDT (even
after unhiding it). How exactly do you link to this table?
Thanks for your help.

I can't see why you "can't seem to link to this table". Where did you get
held up?

When I choose File, Get External Data, Import and it won't let me select the
ACWZUSRT.MDT file. If I type it in manually it says that the file is in an
unrecognizable format.

I have linked to and opened this file many times. Can you close your mdb and
attempt to open the MDT like you would an MDB?

Choose Link, not Import.
