Until you want to put in a phone number from any other country than the USA of course. Because it's only North America that uses the 3-3-4 format. The other countries in the world use a dazzling array of formats, some with area codes, some without. Here in Australia our phone numbers are anything from 5 to 11 digits.

Right now the phone number is in the database as 1234567890. I want to output this as (123) 456-7980 in my application. I have tried using NumberFormat to no avail. I get an error message when I run the code stating the format is invalid. Here is the code I was using: #NumberFormat(COMP_PHONE, '(999)999-9999')# Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thank you.
