>>>ok, here's one i havn't noticed before: i have a dbf with a double field (8,8). on the form i have a textbox (i used the basic textbox from VFP to eliminate any errors in the code of my txtbox class). this txtBox does not contain any code or any specs in the format and imputMask property.

Gunnar, want you a data or a display precision ?

clear
CREATE CURSOR myCursor (myField  B(8)) && double type field 8
APPEND BLANK
REPLACE myField  WITH 0.123456781
? "myField  =",myField
? "myField  =0.12345678"	,myField  =0.12345678
? "myField  =0.123456781"	,myField  =0.123456781
