Posts: 433                I am using a configuration file to store a mask to a 
field that is then used to set the mask for the textfield.

The mask is 9999-999 and when I store the mask to the textfield, it bombs the 
app every time.  I've determined that it doesn't like the hyphen in the mask 
and yet the LR says that any literal character can be used in the mask.


Update:

If I store the mask 9999-999 as the property of the textfield it works fine, 
but if I do it like this:

textfield.mask = rs.field("MASK").stringvalue

it barfs every time.

The hyphen may not be 'the' hyphen character. Pretty sure there are two.
So: what encoding does the stringvalue get you?

and does
textfield.mask = "9999-999"  work using a literal?
