Subnet Mask issue

Tags: Microsoft, Access, 2000
(in Access 2000) in my form I have this field where people have to enter a phone number. I set up an input mask (the phone input mask, obviously) in that field, but now I have a new problem. Before I set up the input mask, you could click anywhere on that field to select it and it would automatically position the cursor at the very beginning of that field.

But now that Ive set up the input mask, you have to specifically position the cursor at the beginning (or else, for example, if the cursor was positioned 4 spaces from the beginning when you clicked to select that field, then youll start typing at 4 spaces from the beginning, which means youll have to back up four spaces before you begin typing or else the first 4 spaces will be blank).

Is there a way I can have an input mask and still be able to click anywhere on the field and just starting typing?
