Otherwise, the bigger the hours number the more of a chance for an inaccruacy (ie 640.9 minutes being cut off to 640 Minutes is significant).With the addition of the extra TEXT fields I was able to duplicatePrice and Quantity (RATE and HOURS) in these fields and use them for display purposes to avoid the extra parsing.This seems to work.However, I will argue, once again, that the "feature" of allowingonly integers for [quantity] be changed to a preference within thesandbox.I can't imagine that it would be a storage problem.Scott, can you look into this?Donovan>[snip]> John> -- =o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o DONOVAN D.
