Paula I played with making it numeric but as it is used on forms, File maintenance started showing excessive nulls - so I reverted it to Text.
I think as it is used on forms for optional display that the display is compromised in some way. At best only a temporary solution as each update could potentially reset the field back to text.

Legacy allows you to search & report, once you've entered it. Just my two cents; I don't use that field... er, maybe that's why? ;) --Paula _____ From: Alan Pereira <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Saturday, November 29, 2014 10:51 AM Subject: RE: [LegacyUG] UserID Sherry, is that field linked relationally to any other in the database?
