I have a (Access 2003) contact management database where the user can
double-click a contact's phone number in a form and have the Windows Phone
Dialer dial the number. The problem is the number has to be in canonical
format or dialing rules won't be applied (cf. MSKB Article 318575). I don't
want to use an Input Mask because users like to put comments after the
number, like: "985-983-0098 ext. 980 - Mike B."
I thought there might be a function or other canned code to put a phone
number into canonical format - i.e. +1 (985) 983-0098. ???
If not, I'll need to brush up on regular expressions and gin something up on
my own...
Thanks in advance.
