percent problem...

[Onslaughtdave]

Hi,

Everytime i enter a number to be a percent it's totally wrong...

i enter .01 for 1% it displays 0.00%

but then every now and again it will convert the number to like 1500% if i enter 15 or something...

what is going on?

thanks,

dave

if you set the format of the field to %, it'll automatically divide by 100 to give a % conversion, so if you want 1%, just put 1...

sometimes, if you've got a % value, it'll convert it to a normal number by multiplying by 100...

personally, I set all my values to floats/doubles and if I need to display them as %, I'll do it exactly when and where I want, it's easier this way than trying to keep track of about 200 fields and how each should be formatted...

Alright, you got it!

i made the field type double and it works great!
