>Apologies if this is an incredibly dumb question. I want numeric data entry from right to left. FoxPro's default behavior is to enter left to right. In other words, if you type 12.34 but fail to key the decimal, the field value is 1234.00.

>What I want to achieve is the same way that numbers are entered into a calculator, the decimal is assumed. For example typing 12 would appear in the textbox as .12. Typing 123 would appear in the textbox as 1.23; and so forth.
>
>This seems like such a common and simple issue that I have to believe MS built this ability somewhere in the language ... but I havn't been able to find the right way to do this .. or I am completely missing the obvious.

>Either way, help would be appreciated.
