I'd just store it as a text.. another option would be to store it as a
number and use CF to format it correctly

I don't think you can make an INT field take leading 0's
Not sure if any numeric field will take leading 0's
Been down that road, I went with varchars for my phone fields.

My phone fields are broken up into 3 parts, area code, prefix
and phone number. Each of those sections are a field in the
DB, so 3 fields for a phone number. The fields are integer type.
Phone number fields should be character data, not numeric. You should only
use numeric fields for values

Phone number fields
The only issue with that would be sorting them numerically versus
alphabetically
0
1
10
2
20
3
30
Would be what youd get with these numbers alphabetically instead of
numerically...
If they're phone numbers, I suspect they all have the same number of digits,
so I don't see why that
If they are all US numbers that would most likely be true.

But then again, I guess he would have said there was a 4th field for a
possible country code so you're probably right... It would sort fine
either
way.
If they are all in fact 3, 3 and 4 digits you could

That is true, they are all US numbers and the same type of digits. I
doubt they'd ever do any kind of searches on them. I think I'll switch
it to be 1 field of text and slightly change the way it's entered.
Thanks All
