Hi Mike,

Is your application dialing the number as well? The option for specifying area codes that are not long distance will not work because Mississauga which is 905 is local while Hamilton which is also 905 is long distance. I would suggest a format of 999-999-9999 or (999) 999-9999 with a textbox just preceding the one for the phone number that will only allow 1 character and will only allow a 1 or blank.

Using an input mask like 9-999-999-9999 allows me to enter phone/fax numbers by including the 1 as the first digit for a long distance number. This inputmask is not good if the leading 1 (or 0) is not acceptable. If I change the input mask to 999-999-9999 I cannot enter the 1, and I don't have code to programmatically determine when to add the 1 or not. If the phone number were entered from right to left, it would format properly more often wouldn't it?
