The Input Mask for a Short Date is

99/99/0000;0;_

not

00:00;0;_

and you really need a little patience! All of these forums are manned by people who are donating their valuable time to help, and you're not necessarily going to get a response within an hour, especially on weekends/holidays.

BTW, the correct Input Mask could have been easily generated using the Wizard by clicking into the Input Mask Property box and then using the dropdown to select the proper one.
