Increase decimal points

Michael, it may be possible to change the text field to display 3 or 4 decimals but your constraint is your database/table. That field is only a "Decimal-2" type field meaning no matter what value you send to it for storage it will convert it to 2 decimal places.

We got around this on some parts/jobs by changing the UoM for that part. If your UoM is in feet, for example, change it to Inches so that you don't need so many decimal places for the production qty.

Go into developer mode in the app, click on the control and look at the properties for the control. Try changing the display mask from #nnnn.nn to #nnnn.nnn

Save the change as a customization, close the app, reopen (to your customization) and see if it 'stuck'. (It's not uncommon for native controls to revert back. You can change the mask via vbscript code to change this property - or replace the control with your own - tied to same table-field and likely have success.)

I'm going by memory here so if it fails in some way, perhaps someone would be kind enough to fill in the gaps.

Rob
