Is there any way to allow numbers with more than two decimal places to be used as a report parameter? When I try to use a thousandths digit I get this error message:

"Please enter only up to 2 decimal place(s) as shown in the number format
 
Right click on the parameter->Format object->Number tab->Customize and set decimal to 1.000 and rounding to 0.001

-lw
 
That's not the problem.

When I Edit Parameter->Set Default Values->Select or enter value to add:

and I enter something like 0.045, I get the error message displayed above. Formatting the object will make three decimal places display, but the last decimal will just be zero (i.e. 0.040 rather than 0.045).
 
Hi,
The format for numbers is controlled by the Options-Fields..Number tab ( under the file menu) - you can set a custom format with as many decimals you want ( like 1.0000000) and set the rounding to whatever level you need...

If you set the number format to 4 decimals and round at the .001 level, the parameter value would be entered as
2.2345, for instance, but would show 2.235 ( by changing any of those settings you can get the formats you need) - Be aware that this is a GLOBAL setting so it will be that way on all reports.
