>>Hi,
>>If I store a number of power of 2 into INT field, how many different "values" will this field hold? I am not sure I phrase my question correctly, so here is an example of what I am trying to say.
>>Say I store 128 into a INT field. Which means that I can get 7 numbers: 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 128
>>Since an INT field can hold up to 2,147,483,647, what is the max number can I get from this value?

>An INT in VFP is a 32 bits integer. Thus you have 32 different values (2^0 = 1 which you didn't include). 2^31 is max you can get (2147483648).
Thank you.
