I actually fixed the problem by choosing Float and Scretch when overflow option. Now I'm having another weird problem. This report has a shape in detail band to print on odd lines. Now my new fields print "above" the shape while other fields print just fine. I do not see the difference between the fields except for my fields are currency type and the other fields are numeric. I tried to play with zorder with no lack.

>>I have a report in VFP8 with currency fields in detail band (I set the format to currency 999,999,999.99) and the same fields in the Total section with sum of the fields. I use Arial 8 font and the width of the field is 0.65.

If it's not broken, fix it until it is.
