<div style="word-wrap: break-word;">I didn't know about the function but from what I understand from the "show function FILTER" output it doesn't validate a string but it cleans the string from not allowed characters. So TRIM(1234567890,01243567&505) results in 01243567505. If the length of the output string is shorter then the input string the call setup should stop because not allowed characters were stripped. With some extra lines TRIM() will do as good as the macro I guess. You can add some lines so someone trying to perform number injection will be connected with an answering machine and be requested to leave name and phone number ;-)<div>
