Are you certain? AFAIR Currency mangles 8byte signed integers internally...

>A follow up question, if you don't mind. Does it mean then, when using SQL Server as database for VFP application, using the Bigint type column does not make much sense? Since VFP only uses 32 bit integers.


See above. Also mapping into Strings is possible, if needed for keys for instance.
