You can use the ActiveExplorer object to work with the selection in the
currently displayed folder and base your code on that:

If ActiveExplorer.Selection.count = 0 Then Exit Sub

For Each objC In ActiveExplorer.Selection
objC.BusinessTelephoneNumber = your code here
Next


Sorry Eric, I'm not experienced with VB.

is this how the whole macro would read?

"Sub ChangeTelFormat

strX = Format(objC.BusinessTelephoneNumber, "+1 (@@@) @@@-@@@@")

If ActiveExplorer.Selection.count = 0 Then Exit Sub

For Each objC In ActiveExplorer.Selection
objC.BusinessTelephoneNumber = strX

Next
End Sub"
