Hi Viv

Sure, but what I meant was: just STR()ing the number does not wipe it out, as happened on my rpt, unless it is less than 0 - it still returns a value. The problem was that I had rpt object property set to format it, which conflicted with the actual value, and I was getting blank values. It's since sorted with a TRANS() and no property formatting.

Thanks for the input.
