>Yes, I do have an 'R' in the format property...it needs to be there so that the user does not need to type the colon when entering a time. Without the R the InputMask won't be used, will it?
That is incorrect. An 'R' in the format property only specifies that the colon shouldn't be stored in the data.
If your InputMask is 99:99, and your Format property is empty, the user will only be able to enter digits, the colon will be there, and the colon will be stored in the data.
