Hello byref,

Creating a mask for email is difficult because you do not know how many characters the email address contains.  However, you could set some upper limit to the length and have a mask that does not require entry like this:

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa\@??????????\.???

a is an alphanumeric character placeholder that does not require entry.

? is a letter placeholder that does not require entry.

\ means that the next character is a literal.

So this mask would allow the user to enter optionally up to 20 letters or numbers followed by the @ symbol, then up to 10 letters for the domain name followed by the . symbol, and finally up to 3 letters for something like "net" or "com" or "edu".

For more information on masks, please read this help topic.
