    Strip input mask in query results?



    I have a client table with a social security number field that uses the MS Access Data Input Mask Wizard value for Social Security Number. I am automating an online application form for clients that requires the SSN without the mask (just straight 000000000). When I examine my query that is the source for the online form data, I can click on the properties tab for the SSN field in the query but there is no value corresponding to "Input Mask" so there is nothing to try and clear.

    You have the SSN stored with hyphens and want to remove them for the online app? Try this in the query:

    Replace(SSN,"-","")
