Try changing your #'s to A’s e.g. me.mask=“AA:AA:AA:…”

Looking at the documentation at http://documentation.xojo.com/index.php/Format this isn’t mentioned, but it works at least on Windows.

Also, it looks like : is the time separator and may vary based on user settings. You’ll want to escape it…
me.mask=“AA\:AA\:AA\:AA\:AA\:AA”
