If you add a command button to a form, using the wizard, one of the
actions in the Miscellaneous category is Autodialer.
Click in the Phone field, then click the command button.

Also, you can simply add the phone dialer tool button to the form.

Right-click on an empty section of any tool bar.
Select Customize + Commands
Find Records in the Commands list. Then, in the right panel of
available commands drag the phone onto the tool bar.
