The above works for output, but I need to process the input from a field before it gets written to the database.I put the above code in an include file called -NormalizePhone and set it up so I could invoke it with: [include file=-NormalizePhone&var1=[HPhone]]My input field is in a form Which then invokes a completion routine that has:[showif [action]=Replace][replace db=AddressBook.db&eqSKUdatarq=[url][sku][/url]] [!] [\!][formvariables name=_&exact=F][getchars start=2][name][/getchars]=[url][value][/url]&[/formvariables] [!] [\!][/replace]
Record Replaced

[commitdatabase db=AddressBook.db] [/showif]In it. Where do I put the include to change the phone number? It seems to be in the formvariables. Something is not adding up here. I must be missing something basic. -Chuck-__________________________________________________________________________ Chuck Rice ------------------------------------------------------------- Brought to you by CommuniGate Pro - The Buzz Word Compliant Messaging Server.
