>Hi,
>
>I have a grid on a form, with 5 fields. The user then uses option buttons to select different views which are shown in the grid. (there are about 20 different views available).
>
>In a number of the columns there is just numeric data, which appears as 123456 etc etc. The customer has recently requested that these fields be formatted for ease of viewing in the format 123,456 etc. Is this possible in a view, I suspect that it is. We are currently developing in version 6 - should be moving to version 7 in a month or two.
