Why are you making life difficult? :-)

Having said that, you could try two things....either trapping each keypress and counting each keypress UNTIL the "." (ASC 46) ... I had limited success with that....or doing something fancy on lostfocus...

I have to ask: What are you trying to accomplish?

>>After checking with type() and fsize() (with set comp off to find field size), How do we find how many decimal places there are. We are trying to avoid the use of afields() function here. We can't use str() because it seems to stop at the decimal point. We can't take the val(str(thisvalue)) and substract it because 125 - 125.00 is still 0.
