Hi Everyone,

I have a numeric field in a form that currently allows an eleven digit number. Any number larger than 11 digits is truncated. I have removed the picture and formatted it as a General number. How can I increase the number of digits allowed?

For info the specific number is 277525910102 so you can see it does not exceed the floating point range.

Thanks

Shaun

are you asking how to make the space wider on the form? be sure to make it one bigger than what you need, to allow for the minus sign (that's how the display theory works)

Hi Steve,

Your prompt reply spurred me on to do some further investigation. I have now found the answer. The format (picture) of the number is read from a configuration table when the form is loaded and thus caused the issue
the picture as read from the database is:

[#[#[#[#[#[#[#[#[#[#[#]]]]]]]]]]]]]]][.#[#]]

I changed it to:

[#[#[#[#[#[#[#[#[#[#[#[#[#[#[#]]]]]]]]]]]]]]][.#[#]]

and everything worked.

Many thanks for your help

regards

Shaun
