sounds like you are inputting the parens and hyphens which you shouldn't do
with an input mask as it causes them to double up. You could put this code
in the afterupdate event of the text box you use for the phone number:
Me!MyPhoneNbr = Format(Me!MyPhoneNbr, "(###) ###-####")
Of course, that will save it in your table with the punctuation included.

Hello! All I want to do is have my phone numbers appear (555) 555-5555,
but
for some reason I keep getting all these weird -- in between the
numbers. I read that I should put "(999) 999-9999"! as an input mask,
but that didn't work. Does anyone have a suggestion?
I appreciate the help!
Thanks,
Carla
