Problem importing 1 field (phone)

[Richard D. Williams]

First try it without any cast on ph. That should work.

Then look at the data from the spreadsheet.  Make sure there is no 
carriage return embedded.

z=""{data(3)

You can check it like this;
z co chr("13")
msgbox "oops!"

You can correct it like this;
z co chr("13")
z=xlate(z,chr("13"),"")

Then do this;
ph(8,#)=""{z
