I suppose you meant an NSNumberFormatter subclass, right? Or am I =
missing some fine point there?

Is there a way to "install" such an object globally to be used for all =
numeric form fields, or do I have to go through all forms and all fields =
and explicitly fill something like =
'formatter=3D"$application.myFormatter"' to each of them? That's what =
I'd like to get rid of -- if possible.

Thanks again,
OC
