    SNIP

    1 returns 0.01
    50/09ol0 returns 500.90
    12345678 returns 123,456.78

    We're deep into the area of personal preferences. My preference is to
    not ignore obvious errors, such as 50/09ol0 being interpreted as 500.90.


    I understand that, but filemaker doesn't have a built in 'don't ignore
    obvious errors' function. You have to built that yourself. 50/09ol0 in
    your eyes has an obvious error which the user needs to be aware of. In
    my eyes it might be just a slip on the keyboard. But it is not so
    difficult to add a function returning a 1 (true) when an error has been
    made. Then color the input field red when an 'obvious error' (defined by
    your expectations) has been made.
    Etc.
