How is it done in the sql statement.  I'm thinking that would be the best
way to go since the data needs to be kicked out to a pdf.
Thanks,
j

a number of ways:

it is probably best to do it in the SQL statement if you have a lot of
records,


If you can't do it that way and you still have a lot of records then try
this:

<cfoutput><cfset foo = insert(") ","1234567890",3)>
(#insert("-",foo,8)#</cfoutput>

The above method is fast, but this one is easier to understand:
(#left(phone,3)#) #mid(phone,4,3)#-#right(phone,4)#
