Nelson,

I think the reason you haven't gotten a reply is that you're probably SOL.

What it comes down to is good user training.  and good edit routines.

not even CSRINPONLY keyword will keep them from cursoring out of a numeric
field.  it will only make it advance across space to the next input field.

Sorry I couldn't help,

Rick

C'mon, guys.  This is a real production problem we have, and I've had no
responses from anyone, yet.

We need to be able to prevent users from tabbing or arrowing out of a
numeric field without first doing a field exit.  There must be some
standard
way of preventing this error.
