Hi Ramil,
RV and decimal point... It's ODBC driver problem, but you can set in RV field's properties datatype to "double"

>PROBLEM: Remote view of an Oracle data using 'comma' as the decimal point will return a query (data) that has the following behavior:
>1. Displays field: QTY value 1.99 as 1,99 in the Browse window. This is the correct behavior.
>2. ? QTY will show 1.0000 <- This is wrong.
>
>OBSERVATION: While the data 'looks' okay visually; the underlying value stored in the view is incorrect.
>
>SETUP:
>1. Oracle database using UTF-8 as NLS_LANG with a table with a NUMBER(10,2) column containing a data such as: 1,99
>2. Oracle ODBC driver uses the NLS_LANG=RUSSIAN_RUSSIA.CL8MSWIN1251 in the HOME0 key in the Windows Registry.
>3. Windows Regional Setting is Russian locale.
>4. VFPSP1 uses CONFIG.FPW with CODEPAGE=1251
>5. All tables have CPDBF() = 1251
>6. SET SYSFORMATS ON; will also inherit SET POINT TO ','
>7. All visual classes inherits a FONTCHARSET=204 && Cyrillic, configurable.
>
>SOLUTION: Force the data-mapping of NUMERIC with decimal places to CURRENCY.
