    Data prints differently in labels than is displayed in the query


    I have a table that has lock combinations in it (00-00-00). It was typed in using dashes and numbers. It displays correctly in the table and the query. When I create labels from the query the dashes disappear. This data has been entered over several years and by several different people. In the table the field is set as Text. Please help

    The data is probably entered via textbox with an InputMask set not to save the punctuation. So even though the values display with dashes, the dashes aren't really in the data, because the InputMask acts as a formatting feature.

    You are printing labels with a report? Is the textbox InputMask property set?
