Not sure if he'll be up for splitting them up. That sounds like a recipe for disaster (or Vistaster...LOL), because if he wanted a character field, he would have asked for it. I don't want to split up a numeric field. Sure, it can be done, but that sounds like asking for trouble. Thanks for the idea, though!
