Instead of stuffing in a text Box, why don't you try writing it in another maskedit box with the same format.<br />
<br />
So when you save it, wont that help.<br />

After the user exits the field with a 7 digit number I put in the area code automatically and and I want the field to display to the user properly right after they exit the field.<br />

What particular edit control are you using. &nbsp;The one I'm using won't take anything that isn't already formatted.<br />

I have a phone number field on a page with the custom format of (@@@) @@@-@@@@. It works fine when reading the data from the database. For instance if I have 5551231234 in the database then (555) 123-1234 is displayed. The problem is when I &quot;stuff&quot; the field with data. If I say txtMyPhone.text = &quot;5551231234&quot; then the text field just displays 5551231234 until I exit and come back into the form. If I stuff it with (555) 123-1234 then it displays properly until I exit the form and come back in. In which case I get something like ((55)5) -123-12. &nbsp;How can I stuff the field and have it immediatly formated via the current fields format properties?

Stuffing a formated field

Visual Basic is Microsoft’s event-driven programming language and integrated development environment (IDE) for its Component Object Model (COM) programming model. It is relatively easy to learn and use because of its graphical development features and BASIC heritage. It has been replaced with VB.NET, and is very similar to VBA (Visual Basic for Applications), the programming language for the Microsoft Office product line.
