Hi Phil,

I just don't format them at all. Most of my clients have international contacts and extensions to worry about so I gave up on formatting. I just bind them to a big 'ol character field and let them enter it however they want.

>Anyone care to share their favorite method of formatting text box for US phone numbers? I've been using Format "R" and InputMask "(999) 999-9999". Is that the preferred method?
