We're using integers.Well, maybe you and I are, but what about someone who wants to sell three and a half units of something (flour? pints of blood?)? Anyway, my point was that it's nice of Grant and the gang to protect people from setting quantity to strange numbers, but there are some cases (like setting quantity=0) where you want to override the safeguards. I was just using the 3.14 example to show that there are safeguards in place.Michael------------------------------------------------------------- This message is sent to you because you are subscribed to the mailing list
