getting '?' in number fields

I'm in the process of changing layouts and final tweeking of field formats etc.

I'm finding that sometimes, field that are set to format for leading $ and to 2 decimals, show up as '?' in browse mode. When i focus on the field it goes away. Turning off formating seems to solve the problem but it doesn't make any sense.

Make the field larger in layout mode so it can display the entire contents.

thanks

that fixed it.

Kinda weird FM would do somthing like that, of all things.

It's there to make sure you cannot print out a report that says your budget is $444000 in the red when it is really $4440000!

Excel displays ###### for exactly the same reason.
