Thanks for the reply Vikas. It's nearly perfect, but of course if the 
desired field is to show currency then UIType 3 is not that good (no 
currency symbol added to the label) but we can probably live without 
that as the customer only uses a single currency.

Thanks for the info - I will test this when I get chance and report 
back. I wonder if there would be any other "knock on effects" of 
removing this entry though?

Thanks again,
