>I'm sitting here teaching a VFP class and I got stumped by a question!!! How does one add an "X" for phone extension in a phone number input mask? We tried "(999) 999-9999 X999" but the X keeps getting intepreted as the alphanumeric placeholder in the mask.

Hi Jim,
You cannot do that because VFP doesn't provide escape codes for Input Mask placeholders. You can add separate textbox for extension and put 'X' as a label in front of it.
