How do you format a DRW cell without Frontpage overwriting the ch.

[Pondo]

Using Frontpage 2003

After using the Database result wizard i would like to format one of the
cells.
But after i make the change and go to save the page, Frontpage overwrites
the change. how do i prevent it from doing that?

Ex.

Frontpage makes:
<%=FP_FieldVal(fp_rs,"Weight")%>

I change it to:
<%=FormatNumber(FP_FieldVal(fp_rs,"Weight"),0)%>

Frontpage notices the change when i go to save it and overwrites it back to
what it was to begin with.

Again, how do i keep Frontpage from overwriting my changes?

Thanks
Ron

Make your change to the gray-colored code (not the maroon) and save your
change while you're still in Code View.

I'm not trained in the coding aspect of things, where would i make the change?

here is the line of code referencing that particular cell.

<td style="text-align: center"><font size="2">
<!--webbot bot="DatabaseResultColumn"
s-columnnames="TAG,GRADE,Gauge,Width,Length,Items,Weight,Description,Customer,Customer
PO,PartNumber,Heatnumber,Password" s-column="Weight" b-tableformat="TRUE"
b-hashtml="FALSE" b-makelink="FALSE" clientside b-MenuFormat preview="<font
size="-1">&lt;&lt;</font>Weight<font size="-1">&gt;&gt;</font>" startspan
--><%=FP_FieldVal(fp_rs,"Weight")%><!--webbot bot="DatabaseResultColumn"
endspan i-checksum="15452" --></font></td>

Thanks in adavnce for you're help.

You need to find your query statement in the gray-colored code - it starts
with this: s-sql="SELECT

P.S. That wasn't me - where is Reavis H.S.?
