Defining a field that is a number

[Guest]

Some of our fields are numeric based such as PO#s. Should I define these
fields as numeric? If so, how do I limit the number of characters allowed
in this field?

If you're going to treat them as numbers (add, subtract, etc.) then it
should be numeric. I suspect that's not what you want, so you should use
text.

Use an input mask for the control where you enter the PO number
