Designer Live Cycle 8 is set to be compatible with Reader 7.
 
A form is created with one of a text fields set to show a 7-digit character. The scheme is set to be 999999.
 
Problem is when the end user, using Reader 7.09, enters the data, it shows as 1,234,5.
 
Even though the format of the field is set as 99999, it still shows with the commas. Any ideas, please?

Since the value you're expecting is entirely numeric, I would recommend you use a numeric field instead of a text field.

Then, make sure that the *Display* pattern property (found in the Object palette's Field tab) is set to "9999999" for a 7 digit number. This will ensure that the value is displayed without a thousands separator (the commas).

The Display pattern specifies how the field's value will be presented (displayed) while the Data pattern ("Object palette > Binding tab") specifies how the field's value will be read from and written to the form's data store.

Hi, I've tried with Numeric Field and Comb of 7 integers, but if the user inputs only 2 numbers (or less of 7) then LCD puts zeroes in the other places, not raise an error instead.
How can I solve?

Thanks.

I tink that solution I did post in your other question would work here too :-)
