Thanks. It is so frustrating that these small details are not included when these informational posts are written.

<p>In computing a space is often used as a delimiter, hence it is rare to see it specifically mentioned as being significant. So here the space is used as a delimiter between the amount and an action to be taken, without the space you just have a text string and as a numeric field the appended letter is invalid, so the software can take two possible approaches - drop the alpha character or enter nothing into the field at all. it appears it takes the approach that the added letter was a mistake (high probability with my keyboard skills) and should be ignored.</p></div>dwg
