I appreciate the effort your putting into this Eric. However I can't help but wonder if Chief couldn't have found a more convoluted way to format numbers. Why the heck would a programmer leave more "programming" to the users for something as crucial as the appropriate display of numeric information? I don't think its reasonable that I should need to learn this, nor do I think its reasonable that I need to add to the label or OIP of every object just to get a chosen number style to display in eit
