Thanks, Cathy. I had read about that at some point in trying to nail this down, but it seemed I had to make the fields a good bit wider and I didn't think that it would have affected it quite that much. I was expecting only a fairly miniscule change. Do you know the reason for this? It would seem they could make the newer technology draw the same characters in the same abount of space . . .

>>> I had found that to make this work (using $$$,$$$,$$$.$$ for the format expression and Blank If Zero), I either had to make a wider than necessary field or I had to click Stretch With Overflow (which, for whatever reason, would make it fit in a field of the appropriate size). With reportbehavior at 90, this does not work and I'm forced back to using a very wide field.

>This is a known issue with VFP 9. The reason is that it uses GDI+ to render objects whereas prior versions just used GDI. There is a slight difference in the width calculations which can result in you seeing **** in numeric fields. You must adjust the width of the numeric fields slightly to accommodate the slightly larger output.
