Telephone Number Problem

[cuig]

I have a Field for "Telephone" using the standard Input Mask in my Form.

The DB is for Europe and the area codes often begin with a zero -- (01) or
(044)

I want the zero to be visible but after I insert it, and save, the zero
disappears and leaves a blank space. Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance for any help.

Are you using a numeric field for the telephone number?

Telephone numbers should be text.

Thanks.

I just noticed I had that set incorrectly.

It works now.
