The Frustration........Number Format

[BurnsORegan]

Greetings and Happy St Paddy's day.

Has anyone managed to solve the problem of getting the Number Field to hold it's formatting. Even if the defaults are correct it keeps changing the (999) for negatives to -999..........

Please before my PC and Server become VFO's (Very- Identifiable Flying Objects)

Regards

Tim

It doesn't change here. Have you saved the report AFTER changing the defaults?

Perhaps you should cite an example, and include the CR version.

There are service packs, applying it might help:

Thanks for this, I will try the updates, although I though we were up to date. I will get the relevant body to check it.

The primary change is always in the Format of negative numbers: Required format is (999) but it keeps reverting to -999.

I have tried saving it at various points, the default value holds it's characteristics but the Cross Tab not, I have even tried deleting the cross tab and re-inserting it!

I keep at it
