Hi Sergey,

>Wouldn't TEXTMERGE() provide the same capability?

I love TEXTMERGE()'s power, but what I'm looking for is the ability to use the same formatting strings one would use with .NET's format() method as illustrated below:

// C#
String.Format("{0:c}", pmCurrency );
String.Format("{0:T}", ptTime );
String.Format("{0:d}", pdDate );
String.Format("{0:#,###}", pnNumber );

* this is what I would like to do in VFP
vfpFormat("{0:c}", pmCurrency )
vfpFormat("{0:T}", ptTime )
vfpFormat("{0:d}", pdDate )
vfpFormat("{0:#,###}", pnNumber )
javascript:MessageSubmit()

I'm not looking for a .NET interop solution.
