Hi Nick,

Telephone numbers are stored in the data as 7 or 10 digit numbers. Using the SmartFinder can only deal with the raw data and not apply a text mask to 'format' the phone number.

Perhaps an Excel macro can be run on the exported Excel file in order to change the phone number to text and insert the brackets and dash. Or perhaps even better, use Adagio GridView to perform the export (instead of the SmartFinder) as you can create a calculated column to format the phone number prior to exporting to Excel.
