Haavard, Not to step on Mark's feet, but I like to use a decimal field
instead of the float. I find the float does not display enough decimal
places and you lose the accuracy for exports etc. With a decimal field you
can bring it out to 6 decimal places. (I appreciate whoever on the list
gave me that info about 2 weeks ago.)
