 * If selecting a decimal database field it would be desirable if the user could
   specify the number of decimal places for that field. At present it defaults to
   4, which at times is too much.
 * Many Thanks

 * The Currency form element uses 2 places, so there is that alternative. You can
   set a different precision (number of decimal places) in the database directly.
   This is explained here:

 * I made the change in the database to get what I wanted. I just think to have 
   some type of formatting option within Manage DataBase Fields would be good.
 * Thanks
