Hi Tamar
I started with the @R and since I didn't have the template interleave set I was getting funny looking numbers and I thought that was the problem but i also notice the Report designer seems to remove the @R anyway when you save it.
Working now with (999) 999-9999 and template characters set to interleave
(I'd give you stars but you are already a star <bg> )
How are you doing ?

Though a good deal is too strange to be believed, nothing is too strange to have happened.
- Thomas Hardy
Half the harm that is done in this world is due to people who want to feel important. They don't mean to do harm-- but the harm does not interest them. Or they do not see it, or they justify it because they are absorbed in the endless struggle to think well of themselves.
-- T. S. Eliot
Democracy is two wolves and a sheep voting on what to have for lunch.
Liberty is a well-armed sheep contesting the vote.
- Ben Franklin
Pardon him, Theodotus. He is a barbarian, and thinks that the customs of his tribe and island are the laws of nature.
