Sounds like you need to turn off fixed decimals, if I understand your
problem. Use Tools/Options/Edit and deselect Fixed Decimals.

Thanks you Bob! I had the same problem and it was driving me crazy. I don't
know how the fixed decimals got turned on in the first place. HC Rogers "Bob Umlas" wrote: Sounds like you need to turn off fixed decimals, if I understand your problem.
