I do i construct a data entry field with a numeric format that looks like this   xx.xx   ?

     

thanks.  i did eventually discover that on my own.   sesame was returning 6 decimals to my layout.  i really don't need to know how to limit it to two whole numbers.  the number i was using will never exceed two.   so,  any way thanks.  i am making progress with this tool.   i started with it monday the 26th  and have made a lot of progress.   let me ask you something else, if i may.   i come from a RPG programming background, where if i want to do a lookup on a field  i activate a command key in the program and then put some verbage on the bottom of the screen that says "use command key 4 to lookup".   so if the user doesn't need to look up,  he doesn't use command key 4.   In Sesame,  it seems like  you don't have that flexibility.  in element entry,  as soon as the cursor enters the field  up pops the lookup.  which forces the use to escape out of it.  unneccesaary key stroke and thought process .any other way to provide a lookup with out having it activate automatically??

Hello JohnnyB.   It sounds like one decimal is resolved.

May I suggest that you make a new posting for this new issue under it's own subject.  Mixing subjects in the same Subject thread, makes it a bit more difficult to find topics of interest.

You could cut/paste the existing information, and then leave a link with a final message that the topic has been moved to the link location.   Once that is done, then each of us who has made a subsequent posting can delete our responses to clean this out.
