I have a FILLIN field that prompts for a dollar amount. If the amount is
greater than zero, I want the words "increased by" to preceed the dollar
amount; if less than zero, "decreased by" to preceed the dollar amount. I
have coded it as follows:

{FILLIN "Contract Change Amount" \# {QUOTE "increased by "} "$ #,###.00",
{QUOTE "decreased by "} "$ #,###.00"}

but it doesn't work. Is there a way to accomplish what I'm looking for?

TIA, David
