Thanks for your input, but I design systems to the users' specs. This has been discussed and they have decided that they want 2 digits.

Reports always show 4 digits. Data entry forms always show 2 digits. This is the standard that we have set.

How is the ROLLOVER clause useful if you are showing 4 digits anyways?

IMHO, this is an issue that should have be fixed. Is this a (MS) way to force a switch to VFP 6.0?

Take care,
Joe
