Hi Bill,
Thanks for responding. I can use the Mton() function in the Command window and it works perfectly. In my program is crashes my system with the infamous message:
"The program has performed an illegal operation and will be shut down"



It's straighforward code.
Calculate SUM(seldetail.total) to X
After execution X looks like $ 7.4000
My next instruction is x = mton(X)

and the system crashes. I'm using VFP 5.0. 64MB. Dont' understand it. Any ideas?

Thanks Again,

Barry
