I have to get two programs A & B working using the same table. One of the fields from the table is type currency but one of the programs (B) wants the field to be type number. Can I just use number to read and write to the field in program B? Will the program using currency (A) beable to read the filed correctly after it is updated using a number write from B??? What tricks can I use to get around the problem (if it is a problem)> TIA John
