After determining the object type of the item to be converted, <strong><strong>Form</strong>s</strong> uses one of the masks listed below.<br />

There are two sets of masks -- one set for YY operations, and another set for RR operations.<br />

For a date-to-string operation, only the first (primary) format mask is used. For a string-to-date<br />

operation, <strong>Form</strong> <strong>Builder</strong> first tries the first/primary format mask. If that conversion is unsuccessful, it<br />

tries the other (secondary) masks, in the order shown<br />
