Hi,

I can find very little discussion about using Currency data type field when designing table structure in all my VFP books.

VFP9 help's tip says: "For precise financial calculations, use the Currency data type instead of Numeric. "
But I know currency data is always calculated with 4 decimal places... and that can cause calculation like $1000 * (1/3) to end up inaccurately...

So, what are the pros and cons of using currency data type? What should I consider when choosing between numeric and currency data type?
