Still using FPD2.6. Anyway, I'm trying to design a report format to print pre-printed checks. For the amount, I'm required to print asterisks (*) in front of the amount for check protection. Under Foxpro HELP, * (asterisk) is a valid format code for this purpose but I can't seem to make it work. I've tried just about every combination of codes to try to make it work but can't. I'm sure there must be an easy solution but what is it?
