Myron:

Hey thanks for your good words. But, R:BASE guru Tony Luck has your answer. From his email:

Myron,

Open your form in the form designed. From the top menu bar select tables (the main menu bar not the form designer one.
Select display format
apply the format to your column
the format will apply to the  column in the grid when you display data

I'm learning, too, every day!

Best, Bruce

Bruce,

Thanks for the reminder for the on-line help link. Much appreciate it. I did take a look at the information.



So, to summarize my understanding: The a DBEdit field gives us the ability to apply a format mask for the phone number.

The Enhanced DBGrid does not. Unfortunately. (At least to the best of my understanding).



So, is there a way to programmatically at the table column level to accomplish the same goal. Or, of course – I could be missing something.



Stay well.

Myron

Myron:



Assuming you may have already been to:



rbase.com/support/rsyntax/rbgx5



Type "mask" into the search control. The first item throws up "Using Format Masks in Forms."



You'll find an example within DB Edit Properties. May be a short leap to the Enhanced DB Grid.



Best, Bruce

I am using an Enhanced DB Grid in a form

One of the columns holds phone numbers in a text format

So, it looks like 6233226333

How do I apply a phone number format to the column?

Something like: !\(999\)\ 000\-0000;0; or anything that works

Stumped.

Thanks.

Myron Finegold, Arizona
