   Hello --   
      
   A textbox, txtSubsRate, on a form has its DataFormat property set to   
   Percentage.  The result is that a user entering a decimal value of ".nn"   
   sees "nn%" in the text box.   
      
   In an expression in code, txtSubsRate.Text is read as "nn%".  My workaround   
   is to use the Replace function to replace "%" with "" and divide by 100.   
   Is that what is expected?  If not, can someone tell me how to have the   
   decimal value interpreted as a decimal and displayed as a percentage?   
      
   Thanks for any help.
