Hi All,

Have a basic problem. I have a table with seperate fields for area code (char. 3pos.) and phone number (Char. 7pos) with no format codes. Trying to print these fields and am not able to get () or '-' to show up on report. This is a vfp6 app.

I have tried @R(999), @(999), R(999), (999) for the are code and I only get the 3 numbers such as 303.
I have tried @R999-9999, @R###-#### and exclude the 'R' and or the '@' and only get the 7 numbers such as 9876543.

What am I missing.

Any help would be appreciated
TIA

Bill
