Chip,

I don't think I understand what you are wanting to pass, or why. The 
FN you show should work for any edit field to which it is attached. 
If you attach it only to the fields for which you want only numeric 
input, it should work as far as I can see. If you don't want that 
limitation, don't attach the filer.

I may have missed something, so let me know if that isn't the answer 
you needed.
