That is, when I retrieve this data into VFP application (or .NET application for that matter) how is it different from Real type? Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Dmitry,

My point of view is to use Monetary data type if the field holds any currency type [ to avoid surprises with adding floating point numbers]

The vfp equivalent of Money is Currency

I think in .net the mapping of sql Money will be mapped into decimal data type
