  Hello,
  
  Custom format uses String.Format() function to format a value. It cannot format string-type value.
  You may use custom function to return a formatted value. Add the following code to the report script:
  

      private string FormatMask(string value, string mask)
      {
        MaskedTextProvider pro = new MaskedTextProvider(mask);
        pro.Add(value);
        return pro.ToString();
      }
  

  
  Use in the Text object:
  [FormatMask("1234567", "000-0000")]

  Can I pass a table field(Employees.FirstName) as the first parameter to the function FormatMask(value, mask) ?
