This is not really RPG-related.

How much time did you spend searching the archives, Robert? This comes up
(seems like) every other week or so.

I have an entry screen with a numeric entry field (15, 2). The user
accidentally entered 8_____452 (underscore represent blanks) and when
the
field exit key was pressed the field was converted to 8000004.52.

I have tried changing the keyboard shift values and added CHECK(FE) but
this
did not invalidate the entry.

What I'm trying to accomplish is that only the right most numbers are
valid,
if a number, followed by a blank and then another number is entered, it
is
invalid.
For example:
8___452 is invalid as a blank separates the numbers.
452____ is valid as no numbers follow the blank.

This is probably pretty basic but I can't think of it right now. I
hope
someone knows off the top of their head.
