Something odd has happened on my system. Code which worked previously has suddenly changed behaviour.

I had a line of code which equates to this:

? VAL('1.8985')
returning 1.8985

now it returns 1.90

I've tracked it down to the SET DECIMALS being 2. My regional settings are set to use system settings, which are British. The settings dialogue shows 2 in the decimals.

SET FIXED OFF makes no difference.

I am mystified as to how this has altered unless there is some connection with the UK end of daylight savings change that took place 2 days ago. I find it hard to believe.

This is on VFP8, SP1.

Are there any other UK users having a similar problem or have I done something really stupid? (or both...)

TIA,
Simon
