I have a CSV file that is downloaded from a financial institution. Etrade, to be exact.

Some fields have values greater than 1000, and any that do use commas per traditional representation. For example: 1,234.00

The problem is that APPEND FROM does not simply ignore the comma. Instead, VFP miscalculates the value, and the value of the field in the DBF is assigned 1.00 rather than 1234.00

This despite the fact that the data in the file is delimited correctly.

Is there a simple workaround for this bug?

Thanks very much.
