Hi

I am having trouble importing data which comes from an Oracle database (via a delimited text file)

The problem is with negaitve numbers. Oracle appears to be exporting them in the format 1.00- instead of the more usual -1.00 and I can't get FoxPro to import the data properly - it just imports the value 1.00

Any ideas - is there anything I can do with FoxPro or does the data have to be exported differently from Oracle?

thanks for your help

John
