An input mask refers to controlling the input that a user is going to provide.For example, if you were going to ask for a person's phone number, and you know the format of the phone number is going to be (xxx) xxx-xxxx, then you would set an input mask forcing the input to be in that format.A zip code, for example, is 5 or 9 characters in the U.S..... either 12345 or 12345-6789.Therefore, you would use an input mask that looked like xxxxx | xxxxx-xxxxThis controls the user's input so that less validation is required later.Input masks are mostly used to validate input that has a strict pattern that never changes. With Access validation rules you can validate more complex patterns.
