I have a similar problem. I need a field where users can input regular
numbers (.1234) or scientific notation. When I tried the number patter
{9.99E}, I can only enter numbers larger than 1.0E-03. Anything larger
and it changes them to 0. I tried the suggestion for text pattern and
cannot get that to work. When I use it, the field just lets me input any
text or number objects and displays just as entered.I will appreciate
any information.Kellye
