Here are a few additional things I didn't notice when I first posted this
message. 1. I saved the format and it appears in a list of formats. 2. When
I save and exit the table and reopen it the format has disappeared.
Thanks again for any help.

I have created a form to enter data where one of the fields is a telephone
number. In setting up the table, I entered a custom format as
"("xxx")"xxx"-"xxxx. This shows as I expected (area code in parentheses
followed by the digits) in the format box.
When I enter phone numbers in the form, they simply appear in the table as
a string of numbers without the formatting.
Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong? Thanks
Arnold Roth
