Sorry Ken. Your script works well in a one-line field, but I need it
to work in a many line field (maybe I didn't say that in the first
place).

Try this one (script of the field):
on keydown whichKey
if whichKey is among the chars of "01234567890.-" then
put me into tTemp
put word 2 of the selectedChunk into sChar
put word 4 of the selectedChunk into eChar
if eChar > sChar then -- some text is selected
delete char sChar to eChar of tTemp
end if
put whichKey after char eChar of tTemp
if isNumber(tTemp) then pass keyDown
end if
end keyDown
Basically it checks to see if the end product would end up with a numeric
value, and if so, it will allow the keystroke to happen.
BTW: There was no reason to trap for backspace/delete as there isn't a way
AFAIK to remove some or part of a number and have the end result *not* be a
number.
HTH,

It's not the errors I'm concerned about as much as vulnerabilities and
no audit trail.
Bartcop's Second Law of Economics:
"If someone makes a mistake
that puts money in their pocket,
you can bet they'll make that mistake
again, and again, and again..."
This will get me into trouble if anyone notices it here at the bottom:
It is very important to recognize the folly of corruptible voting
machines and to accept the possibility that elections are rigged.
However, it is MUCH more important that people think about why they
voted the way they did. They shouldn't be misled in the same way a
second (third?) time. A little reflection and self-knowledge is
called for: half of us owe the other half a confession of mea culpa.
