Hi All,

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.

As one operator of my acquaintance said about this result: "Lookee! I
just made budget."

Please forgive me. It's Friday afternoon.
