Phone Number Format

[Papabjoe]

Does anyone know how I can get my phone number field to automatically insert a "-" in the appropriate places? I want to enter the ten digits and have the number format as xxx-xxx-xxxx when I exit the field.

Any suggestions?

Lee Smith (I think) has a sample file for this, which I think is in the Samples section. It not only inserts the dashes correctly, but deals with entries in other formats (such as (xxx) xxx-xxxx and xxx.xxx.xxxx) which is very handy. I can't remember what it is called, but dig around in Samples, and you should find it.

It's not in the Sample files, it was sent as an attachment to this thread.

Quite right - that's where I found it, Lee.
