I compare lengths to see if there were any digits

len(chrtran(alltrim(field),"0123456789","")) <> len(alltrim(field))

We've got some phone fields in a table, and I'm grabbing them for reporting
purposes.  Some users seem to have keyed in crap though, like no digits but
a dash or parens here and there.  I want to NOT grab these fields, so how
best can I basically code (in VFP9SP2) something like this:

* pseduocode
if DigitsInPhoneField then
   grab the field
else
   ignore it
endif

tia!
