I have a control in an access database that holds credit card numbers.

I want to format the control so that it only displays the last 4 digits the first 12 digits just displaying an X

so that it will appear like this XXXX XXXX XXXX 1245

What is the best way to achieve this.

Many thanks for your help

Regards

Peter

Hi,

I think there is no way to format part of the field directly in the table. Accordingy you may need to put it in a query and show it as:
Format(Left([CredNum],11),"XXXX XXXX XXXX " & Right([CredNum],4))
Noting that I have included the spaces into the text.
