I have created a report that lists fax numbers, but it's in all number format with no hyphens or anything. Ex.1234567891. I would like for it to add hyphen after the 3rd & 6th numbers. How can I do this?

left(fax,3)+"-"+mid(fax,4,3)+"-"+ right(fax,4);

Thanks for your reply however, I am getting an error. Here is what I have in the Crystal Reports Formula Editor:

@formatfax

stringvar fax:="{BUSINESS.FAXPHONE}";

left(fax,3)+"-"+mid(fax,4,3)+"-"+ right(fax,4);

all you have to do in the formula is:

left ({BUSINESS.FAXPHONE},3)+"-"+mid({BUSINESS.FAXPHONE},4,3)+"-"+right(

{BUSINESS.FAXPHONE},4);

(Or you can remove the double quotes in the first line.

stringvar fax:={BUSINESS.FAXPHONE};

You are getting the error because of that.)

If you are still having problems, please let me know.

I got it fixed before you replied:

// formatfax (Didn't Recognize the @ formatfax)

stringvar fax:={BUSINESS.FAXPHONE}; (I had "{BUSINESS.FAXPHONE}" Here. Didn't need " ")

left(fax,3)+"-"+mid(fax,4,3)+"-"+ right(fax,4);

Thanks for your help!
