Is there a way to customize the format of a field to format like an ontario drivers license with the dashes automatically inserted - similar to how they have the option for the US social security number, but in the format of ontario drivers license so XXXXX-XXXXX-XXX

Thanks

Thanks! Will this also allow people to enter a letter? Oour license is a combo of letters and numbers. Will they have to type in the dash?

Me again, I figured my last question out - by using X where a letter is required it works properly. One last question. Is there a way to make the letter always appear as a capital?
