Subject Re: numbers as text From Heinz Kesting <Nobody@Nowhere.com> Date Tue, 8 Apr 2025 10:16:27 +0200 Newsgroups dbase.getting-started Hi Charlie, > I have numbers as a string.  Might have asked this before but forgot.  I want to only use commas when user is working with them in entryfields or grids. .  Otherwise store them in the table as a string with no commas.   Using entryfields I have tried function @R 999,999,999,999 with no luck.  Can this be done without showing the commas on blank fields? I am not sure what exactly is your situation. In what form (data type: char, numeric ..?) are the values currently stored in the table (DBF I guess, or some kind of SQL-Server?), or where do these values come from? And then in a form, you want these values to be displayed for editing, having 2 decimals separated with commas, and after editing store them back to the table in what form? Thanks for more details!
