>>I have a number field defined in a table as 4.3.
>>When I enter in a number in browse, my number starts at the first position in the decimal place and not in ones position on the left of the decimal point. Can someone tell me what the problem is?

>4,3 means a total length of 4 bytes with 3 decimals. The decimal point occupies a position so 4,3 is .999 format. If you want 4 digits to the left and three to the right you need 8,3 as the size. Total length of 8 with 3 decimals.
