Thanks for the url, Jochem. I do research the docs *usually*, but I've found in many cases, that it takes an inordinate amount of time to find an answer to a simple question. So sometimes I just go for the "quick fix." :o)
And, although the docs explain the possibilities for monetary values, I didn't get from the "best practice" recommended and enough specifics. That's been true on the many occasions I've tried researching the docs first. And, one final note...even though the docs may provide an answer to a question, they can be wrong, or simply provide an inadequate or incomplete answer. Even if I find an answer to a question, I would probably put the doc's answer and my understanding to a test in the "wisdom of the community" before spending a lot of time setting up a database and coding just to perhaps find out later that I missed one little aspect of the situation that requires me to change everything I've done. "Measure twice, cut once..." Thanks for your help.
