Good afternoon
I have a database that I am creating and I have been trying to use an input mask on two different fields and am having a difficult time getting the mask to work as I would like. The first field is chrIPAddress - a filed which I will collet the IP Address for each PC within the Data Center. The IP Address could look like 10.1.28.22 to 155.108.153.210 - 4 sets of digits containing from 1 to 3 digits per set of digits. I want to be able to remove the spaces and show the 3 digits to 1 digit in between the periods as in 10.1.28.22 not _10.__1._28._22.
I also have a MAC Address I'm trying to collect in the database which is 6 sets of 2 Alphanumeric characters seperated by period,
as in 00-1E-37-3E-2F-9E. Letters will be capitalized
I want to show the periods in display but not store them. It must not allow duplicates but allow a blank field, Required entry = No, I want to allow zero - length(meaning I want to allow for blanks).
Can anyone help me with this input mask, I've tried to mix in optional characters and required but I just don't seem to be getting the right combination.
