This is something that need to be improved in Visual FoxPro.
I have a bunch of datetime fields. Suddenly, the client said he wanted to avoid to see the seconds, so I just SET SECONDS OFF in my form load.
But, for separators, if I understand correctly, there is no way to do that. So, if the client change mind the next month, I will have to modify those input mask property for forms and reports.
