Sure; set the control source of a textbox on the form to

=IIF([fieldname] LIKE "07*", Replace([fieldname], " ", ""), Null)

Better might be to create a normalizing query such as

SELECT ClientID, Replace([Phone1], " ", "") AS Mobile WHERE [Phone1] LIKE
"07*"
UNION ALL
SELECT ClientID, Replace([Phone2], " ", "") AS Mobile WHERE [Phone2] LIKE
"07*"
UNION ALL
SELECT ClientID, Replace([Phone3], " ", "") AS Mobile WHERE [Phone3] LIKE
"07*"

to get a tall-thin recordset of all the mobile numbers (one client might have
two such numbers...!); you can then display this query in a Subform on your
form, linked by ClientID.
