Hard to imagine your report detail bands but some things to consider:

- As Tracy said, widen your fields so they don't need stretch with overflow.
- Try a Transform() on teh fields to ensure their format
- Why float? why not fix relative to top or bottom of band


>>The field width on the report needs to be wider. Astericks usually denotes that the value will not fit in the display width.

>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.

>>>Hi everybody,

>>>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.
>>>
>>>For some strange reason my totals print OK, but in the detail line I see ********. I'm going to change my format to 999,999.99 for these fields, but this strange output doesn't make much sense, since I use the exact same width and format for total fields and they show just fine.
>>>
>>>Thanks in advance.
