hello
I m trying to use the input mask on a table and i cannot get a builder button to work,nothing is there ,i have tried installing the files manually,i have run the repair option,nothing is working,any suggestions.

What version of Access?

But it sounds like the input mask wizard was not installed or you are trying to use this function on a data type not supporting it. What is the data type you ar trying to use this on? I know text, number, date/time and currency all support the feature (probably others too, but NOT yes/no for example)

You do not get the ellipsis (...) button at the extreme right?

im doing homework with access at home,and none of the wizards are working,ive read on other sites of similiar problems,where you have to rename files and manually load them,i tried and couldnt get them to work
thanks for the reply

I have not heard of these problems (which does not mean all that much) but I have both 97 and 2003 installed and the only issue I was aware of was an inability to change the field on a text data import, so you have to import the data to a new table, delete the data and change the fields to the data types it should be and then re import ot the now exisitng table (version 2003)

I'd seriously look into just doing a reinstall and choose all the options for access. I know when I worked in the office instad of from home that they install given for access was pretty stripped down and there were no wizards availbale until I had IT come by and do a full install.

Which version are you using?
