Vista - crystal report format text "vb.net"

Hi,
I'am using "Visual Basic 2005" and Ado.net .Iin a crystal report i want to
format a texfield as followed ###-#######-## and other string functions ,
but no succees.
Before I used Msaccess and i put an inputmask on the field in the table
directly. The field is showed properly in the forms and reports. Now , i
will convert this application into ado.net but i see only text without the
mask.
can i achieve this in a crystal report ?

kindly regards, Georg

Georg,

Although that help with crystal reports is mostly almost impossible.

What do you mean with convert this application into ado.net.

Ado net is not a program language or program generator or whatever.
