VFP doesn't inherently know the available currency denominations. it also doesn't save results of currency in the units used to build the total; you could roll your own mechanism for this; it would probably be best implemented as a class of some sort.

Thanks for your reply... Actually I'll make it more clear,

We've around 400 labours in our company & I'm making a Payroll program, For eg. one labour's salary is say 356 Dirhams (Currency Used in UAE), so the program should return this :-

100x3=300
50x1=50
5x1=5
1x1=1 Total is 356

Same way the loop will scan all the 400 records and update a dbf or cursor for all the employees.

Finally I can take the total report and give it to bank (as we are paying salary by cash ), so they can arrange the amount accordingly...

Can you pls tell me if there is already a program made for this thing...
