Hey Hilary, Thank you for response. Your solution works fine, decimal places and format. Thanks a lot.

Hey, Andres, welcome.

How odd that the format text box is disabled.

When I look at the XSL for a form that has a control with the format defined, the format is in two places. In the when test (as shown in your post) but also in the xd:datafmt attribute of the span tag for the control. The quotes are encoded (").

So, in my sample, which is formatted a bit differently than yours, prior to the xsl:when, I have this:

I wonder if you also need to adjust the number format there?

Infopath 2007 text box do not take numeric format

Hi all, I'm working with InfoPath 2007 (no-code) form which has couple a text boxes where the user type numbers. I tried to set number format but the format button on text box's window property is disable, I don not why.
Then I saved form using infopaht option "Save as sources files" and I tried to edit view1.xsl to set format like this:

<xsl:when test="function-available('xdFormatting:formatString')"> <xsl:value-of select="xdFormatting:formatString(ValorCompensacion,"number","numDigits:2;negativeOrder:1;")"/> </xsl:when>

Really I only changed numDigits:4 to numDigits:2.
When running the infopath form in browser and type 12345,6 the number looks like 12345,6000 (4 decimal digits) even after view1.xsl file change. If the user type 12345,6 I hope looks like 12.345,60. In same server exists others infopath 2007 form that work fine.
Can someone help me?
I'm not a great English writer, sorry if there are mistakes.
