	First, know that I am do not know much about programming. I have a database that has about 25 different Phone, Fax, and Cell elements. I am looking at the programming samples and see how to format these telephone numbers into the standard (XXX) XXX-XXXX format. Should I enter this programming in 25 different times individually, or should I do a subroutine in the global code section and put a simple subroutine call into each element? Or am I so lost that none of this makes sense?

	Go with a function in the global code area. It will be central so much easier to maintain and change. It will also compile (and maybe - run) faster. Remember to make it flexilble enough to handle extensions and international numbers.
