How on a report field, for a telephone number, do you format the data?

My input mask in the database is (###)###-#### and the format is R.

Respectfully,
Jonathan Morningstar


On another note, does anyone have knowledge of a program or app that you
can point to ones Outlook and print ALL the email out in one shot?

In the report Designer, you can probably use Field Properties ->
Format tab -> Format Expression and put your (###)###-####
in there.

In the report builder use an expression type of Numeric and put "(999)
999-9999" without the quotes into the format expression field.

I do not since phone numbers have a variety of formats. The
North American Numbering Plan is but one format.
