Displaying masked phone numbers in a list box (1 Viewer)

[jpl458]

I have phone numbers that have input masks. When I run the query, all is well. But when the query puts data in a listbox they are un formatted. I read solution that I don't understand. Put this "Format([YourFieldName],"(000) 000-0000")" in the "Field Box" of the Listbox. I can't find the Field box, plus the query returns 3 phone numbers

Use that in the SQL Row Source for your Listbox. For example:

SELECT Format([PhoneField], "(000) 000-0000") AS Column1 FROM TableName

SELECT Format([PhoneField], "(000) 000-0000") AS Column1 FROM TableName

I put this in the field box of the query:

Expr: Format([YourFieldName],"(000) 000-0000")

And changed the name to protect the innocent, and it works fine. I did it for each of the phone numbers in the query

Thanks for the response.

Glad to hear you got it sorted out. Good luck with your project.
