Valerie covered this one pretty well.

Well, yes and no. FileMaker doesn't have a way to just jump to the
next field when a field validation (e.g., three numerical characters)
has been fulfilled. The usual workaround is to us an entry field
which accepts 10 digits with no spaces or hyphens, and a calculation
field which parses out the string into an area code and formatted
phone number.
