I'm sorta new to doing the dynamic web site stuff....that includes Access, the Ultradev part of Dreamweaver, SQL, etc... So I'm learning as I go and, while I think I'm making decent headway, I'm still learning some conceptual stuff.

I have form fields for inserting phone numbers. I'm wondering if it's best to just have those phone numbers inserted as 1231231234 format and then format their display later as (123) 123-1234? Is there a way to protect the integrity of the phone number? Is it just best to have three fields for the phone number??

Thanks - Jeph!
