Hi!
That is another reason why I recommended to use a character-string text box with custom functionality for data entering. VFP Text Box do not cover all cases required, as you see.
BTW, Its strange, but when you try to type in the text box with format='L' and InputMask = SET('Currency')+'999,999.99', the comma appears! It do not appears only when value is all zeros.
HTH.
>It can be overwritten at the time of input, but after exiting the box (or pressing the decimal key) it reappears. But it does use up one of the digit positions as I observed.

>There is a problem with leading zeros and currency: a format of '$L' will not display the currency symbol; and a format of 'L' with a punctuated mask (e.g. 99,999.99) will not show the comma separator.

The professional level of programmer could be determined by level of stupidity of his/her bugs
It is not appropriate to say that question is "foolish". There could be only foolish answers. Everybody passed period of time when knows nothing about something.
