Hello Yuniar,
Thank you very much for the wonderful program. It is working great other this small problem. Client entered their credit card number and when I went to retrieve, it looks like this 1.24512544568456e+15. Please let me know how I can fix this problem.
Thanks again

How to fix number entry

Just as a user, and not well versed in the program yet, may I suggest that you have a "Number" field here when it may be better to use a "Single Line Text" field.
The number field will attempt to display this as a number, and being so large, it converts it to powers of ten.
If it doesn't disturb what your trying to do (capture a credit card number), the text field may be better.

As an addendum to my note, did you try a number field, but select the "Field Size" "Large"?
That may do it.

Thank you very much Ron for the quick replay. Yes……. I select the field size to large. Still it converts to power of ten. I am going to try as a text field as you recommended.

Hi,
Ron is right !, since you are using number field size it will display exponential number for big number. I suggest to use "single text" field instead of number field .
Thank's Ron

Perhaps you can provide a different field type which validates the field as numeric, however passes the information as text.
