I am using Outlook 2002.

In the phone number fields on the contact form the numbers
appear as;
(123) 456-7890

I need them to appear as;
123.456.7890

How can I change this? I have tried just retyping them,
but it goes back to the original mask. I am using these
fields to pull the phone number into some Word templates
via a variable.

Thanks,
Jeff
 
You can't change the masking of phone numbers in Outlook. It's hard coded.
 
OK, is there any way to that via a VBScript on the form
then? OR by using a validation procedure?

None that I know of. Ask in a programming group.
