Unfortunately, if the user has the machine set up to use CHR(160) as the 1000 separator as the default on their machine, that's exactly what VFP will use (that's what SET SYSFORMATS does). You'll have to SEt SYSFORMATS OFF and thwn use SET SEPARATOR and SET DECIMAL (as well as SET DATE etc).

If we were to introduce Visual FoxBase+, would we be able to work from the dotNet Prompt?
