>What is the proper way to enter international telephone numbers.
If you have a bunch of these it might be worth changing the
validation criterion of the phone number field to accept 8 digits.
You would also have to change the display field to put the hyphen in
the right place. This works only if you have FileMaker, and can
change the layouts and field definitions.
>Take for
>instance we have Australian numbers that have the format:
>
>61 - 2 - 1234 - 5678
>
>61 is the Country code (in the US it is 1)
>2 is the city code (US area code equivelent)
>the last 8 digits are is the telphone number (7 digits in the US)
>
>So the end result is I end up with one more number than will fit into the
>field. In some countries the city code is two digits so I would have even
>more.
>
>One way I can see to enter this and to see the result on the HOME screen
>is to put the country code (62) the city code (2) and number of the eight
>digit telephone number into thethe HOME AREA CODE field and then change
>the HOME layout to extend HOME PHONE field display size to show all the
>numbers.
>
>I can't add the 8 digit number into the HOME TELEPHONE NUMBER field
>because it only excepts 7 digits in the current layout.
