>>I have a fox pro 3.0 form that I want to add formatting on few fields to. I would like the user to enter a dollar amount of an item. This can range from a few cents to thousands of dollars. I want to make sure whatever they enter always has a decimal place and the amount of cents such as 1.00 or 10.00 or 1000.00 . How do I set up this type of format for currency?

>>Thanks in advance

A textbox has InputMask property where you can specify formatting for each position in textbox for data entry and display. You can set this property at design time or runtime, for example,

Mytextbox.Inputmask = "999999999.99"
 or 
Mytextbox.Inputmask = "999,999,999.99"   && if you want thousends separated by commas too

The Format property on other hand specifies a behavior for the entire input field.
