Another case in point on this idea: My auto repair shop client asked me to alter the phone fields on his Customer and Work Order records. They were originally labelled Home Phone and Work Phone. He wanted a third #, but also a different concept. What he wanted were three fields of 20 characters, so that he could put phone numbers in priority order, with the note afterward. Almost exactly as Ted's examples: 888-555-1212 Work 619-272-2411 Cell 619-272-8831 Wife
I've done phones that way ever since.
