Hi Bob,

I had problems using currency fields in financial applicaton. Seems like internal rounding was not working as in supposed to do. Data were often 1 cent off. After I converted Currency fields to Numeric I didn't have any problems (no code was changed). I do not use the Currency fields since then.
