I Usually use NUM(xx) and xx#"" to combat that one.

Never really thought about "." - I would think that would be treated as 0.0 in 
any calculations?
Guess I'll have to test that one out...

NUM() will validate '' (null string) as numeric, and I believe some 
implementations would validate '.' (decimal point) as numeric, although 
the version of Jbase I'm on, running Universe emulation, does not.
