Default Locking Parts of a form

I'm working on creating a form for a fellow employee. It's pretty much all set up with the information. The only problem is we would like to be able to lock the brackets for the phone number so they don't adjust when putting in the numbers.



Is there any way to do this?

Assuming you're using formfields, you could configure a custom number format with something like:
[00] 0000 0000
(note the square backets) and a maxumum length equal to the number of digits. This way, any number will be correctly formatted.
