Unformat Phone Number Field
All,
I have a database table that has a field Fax_Numbers that have fax numbers saved in the format: (333) 444-5555. I wish to use these numbers in a query with the numbers left justified and with numerals only: 3334445555. I can't seem to "unformat" using the Format function in a query. Your help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance. Brad

You could use the following expression in a query.
