Hi Folks.

The "R" Format property. You know, the thing that applies a format mask to data as specified in the InputMask property. The Builders love it. I don't. Phone numbers, for example. If the data is stored as (999) 999-9999 and you use (999) 999-9999 as your InputMask and have R in the Format, you end up with a display that looks like "((99) 9) 99", or something to that effect.

Frankly, I like to store data as formatted so that I don't have to worry about formatting it from whatever front-end I get it from. So the "R" is worse than useless for me.

What do y'all think?
