Alan, Sorry, guess I still don't understand, but at least Misi & LJ do. I get "You have entered an improperly formatted value for a real field" when I try to save with 123.2&5 in a real number field in the User Tool or web. But rather than try to change the input, how about throwing an error to the user telling them to correct it? Or does that have the same problem with being unable to detect the incorrect characters on input?
