>>>>>>I have a data entry form containing percentage fields that are defined as N(4,2). I would like the users to be able to enter 100% as 100 rather than 1.00, 50% as 50 rather than 0.50, and so on. Is there some formatting option that supports this or is my only option to change the field definitions to N(3,0)? (They can never be greater than 100%).

I don't think we have much to discuss here. Every rememberance is a complication for our poor brains, but every additional class is a complication too. One may create a class to produce 2x2=4, or any other similar operation, but then it's up to world to decide.
