Thank you Craig,
Out of all the small apps I've built with Rev so far, this is the
first time I've ever had the need to to format a number and in this
case it's purely to enhance what the user will see. It's all good info
and I appreciate all of the tips and suggestions because I'm sure that
I (or someone else) will need the knowledge down the road somewhere.

Best regards,
David C.
