Question : Problem with telephone format in access form

Hi experts,

I have used the following format in one of my bound fields on a form.  

\(9999") "00090009;;_

This was put into the input mask in the text box on my form using the MS Access Wizard.  The field type is number in the table that the text box is bound to.

I keep receiving the following error message:

The value you entered isn't valid for this field.


Can anybody help me to understand this message?

Thank you
Terry
