Background: I have a table that stores a telephone number as a text value.

Challenge: How do display the telephone number in a form formatted as
555-698-4567 (or something close)?

I've used the input format mask as shown below.

 

I've tried the format mask (000) 000_0000;1;_ in a DB Edit 'Input Format
Mask' field - no joy.

And I've tried !\(999\)\ 000\-0000;0; - again - no joy.

 



 

 

And is there a way to format the number is an 'Enhanced BD Grid Properties'
column field?

 

Then of course the question that begs to be asked is; should I change the
table data to reflect the output I need?

If so, what is the best way to accomplish this?
