No worries --

The issue that I'm having with the declarative width is how '7' is arrived (I use 7 now, but I'll clarify in a moment).

Since I'm wrapped up in trying to get my project in a state that I'm satisfied with right now so I haven't played with this more, so I can't say for certain this occurred.

We have {>>>>>} which is 7 characters. We have {>(5)>} which is also 7 characters? Okay -- I'll accept that the {} are included in the count. In my mind, while I was playing with things, I remember switching {>(5)>} to {>(3)>}. This should be 5 characters. When I have " 003," I should not get the validation error. My data has 5 characters, the field is 5 characters.

Like I said, I haven't gone back and tested it, it was one iteration out 20 or 30 tries. So, this is what I need to bang around with and figure out. I just need more experience with it, break what I'm doing, ask more questions and just get it set in my mind with my own words.
