This is brain dead simple; it's not even necessary for the application to know what specific co-pay values are valid. It just needs to present a pick-list of values no longer than the list of years I get at a shopping-cart site. $10.00, $15.00, $20.00, etc. etc... Problem solved. No errors, nobody loses $6 million.

     How do you know that the values fall into such a small set?

And you create another problem. Have you ever seen a fast DE person at work? A dropdown would slow them down considerably. The problem was someone not checking what was entered. The answer is not to slow everyone down. That does not cause the checking to get done.
