>>>One of my clients has 1 machine on which a certain report shows asterisks for an amount field. On other machines, the report does not overflow. The font is a common one (Ariel, Regular, 10 point). Any idea why this could be happening? Is it possible that the font is corrupted on this particular machine?

Yep. That's one thing that happens so infrequently I never remember it until I stumble over it, yet again. < sigh >
