ps. sorry about the english

Hi, Filipe. No problem about the English. You speak English much better than i speak your native language, i guarantee.

What does a record represent? Is it an invoice, or a contact, or ... ? It sounds like you should create a separate table for People and relate it to the existing table. That way, you can have fields automatically filled in for each new record with the correct phone number for the person.

Make the phone number and SSN fields unique: Define Field | Validataion | Unique value.
