Our database cust# is an alpha field, but we only want to allow numeric entries into the field.

What is a good way to ensure data keyed into a field is numeric using DDS screens?

I can't chain to the cust file in some cases because ranges are allowed, for example two fields exist on the screen to key a start cust# and an end cust#.

Also, I dont want to allow an entry such as "0   0   0" (problem, spaces in between).

What is the simplest way to accomplish this?

TIA
