Hi Glen,

Assuming that this sample is linked to the 'How Do I Align Decimals in
a Column?' lesson
http://lessons.runrev.com/spaces/lessons/manuals/datagrid/lessons/7331-How-Do-I-Align-Decimals-in-a-Column-

The problem should reside in the FillinData handler:

set the itemDel to "."
set the text of fld "leftvalue" of me to max(0,item 1 of pData) & "."
set the text of fld "rightvalue" of me to max(0,item 2 of pData)

Negative numbers are ignored due to the use of the max function.

Replace the content of the handler by:

set the itemDel to "."
set the text of fld "leftvalue" of me to item 1 of pData & "."
set the text of fld "rightvalue" of me to max(0,item 2 of pData)

You have now to take care that the user has not started the number by a dot.
