Hey, got one problem
lets say
1. i've regional setting mm-dd-yy and separator "-"

2.i'm using mask edit textbox for date inputs in dd/mm/yyyy format so i can't
use date data type. so i get a date string out of the text box

using
format("12/03/2002","dd/mm/yyyy")
would return me "12-03-2002"
or even if i collect the date coming from server in date type variable
using format would return it with same separator.
so my maskedit box would end up saying invalid property value

?
