>>>Hi,
>>>
>>>I am trying to decide what type to use for VFP N type data in SQL Server. The column in VFP does hold value of dollar amount. But I don't understand the significance of Money type in SQL Server. 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.

>>We've discussed this problem few times on another site (I'll give you a reference later). The consensus is against money type in favor of decimal type. Say, decimal (19,4).
