>>Part of this is a SWAG. I assume that currency fields are stored as a double precision eight byte floating point. This means that it'll have to be converted for display, but not for calculations. Numeric values are stored in the table as character. There's no need to convert for display, but they do have to be converted for calculations.

It stands for Scientific Wild A** Guess. Actually it wasn't that wild.< g >
