ok. Tks for explanation.
But then how would one express a negative # in a numeric field? Depending on settings (I think) Windows expresses it either as -#### or (####) but if I read you right, entering something other than a whole number or decimal would be parsed to zero.
And if URp saves a string that begins w zero it will remove the leading zero. So I have to remember to force save that before leaving a form.
I'm whining but also trying to understand the different attribute types as I expand my DB. I assumed like a date attribute, every other type was straight forward but it doesn't seem so.
Are there any other rules I should be aware of?
