Bob,

May be I have not understood what you are trying to do, but a user-defined
function in the same script as the FillinData handler of the column in
question works perfectly for me.

Above is the original phone number format. I tried to convert it by adding
an fConvert function in the column behavior of the "Phone" column, as
follows:

on FillInData pData
   -- set the text of field 1 of me to pData
   set the text of field 1 of me to fConvert(pData)
 end FillInData
 
function fConvert pData
   set the itemDel to "-"
   return "(" & item 1 of pData & ")" &&  (item 2 of pData) && (item 3 of
pData)
end fConvert

It works perfectly; here's the image.

I hope the images show in the post (My post wouldn't make any sense
otherwise!)

Regards,
Sri
