Have you set the PVALID string?  The validation characters are as follows:
	Char	Input Allowed
	 9	Numeric
	 a	Both case alpha, plus space
	 n	Digits + a
	 p	All valid DOS path name characters
	 A	Uppercase alpha, maps lower to upper
	 N	Uppercase version of n
	 F	Valid DOS filename characters, plus wildcards * and ?
	 P	Valie DOS pathname characters, plus wildcards * and ?
	 X	Anything.

The template field is what will initially be in the field.  The valid field
validates what can be entered into the field.  If the valid field is empty, 
nothing can be entered.  See pp. 75-78 in the Sybex book.
