Entering fractions into a numberic field reflected on a form

[Frank]

I have a numeric field placed on an entry form. I want to be able to enter
fractions into the numeric field - eg. 2.33, 2.60, etc.

What is best way to do this.

Thanks tons for help.

It isn't clear what your issue is. Why can't you simply type 2.33 or 2.60
into the text box?

Thanks for reply. I just added to the form, a straight numeric field from
the "Field List." When I type in a number which has a decimal point - eg.
2.5, 3.5 ,etc. it returns 2.0,3.0, etc. Tried formating, etc without
success.

Comments?

That's certainly a better description. I expect your field data type is set
to Numeric - Long which only accepts and stores whole numbers. If you want
to store decimal portions, then you will need to change the data type to
Double, Single, Decimal, or Currency.
