[Quoted] [Quoted] Does anyone have any good ideas as to how I can show number data in forms text items to n significant figures.

The only way I can think of doing it is to programmatically change the format mask for each record displayed, but that won't work for multirecord blocks, which I need. Also, it won't be possible to enter any old number into the field since the format mask will ensure it is in the format for whatever data was previously displayed.

Any suggestions would be very welcome.

Thanks,

Clint Redwood.
