>I will go for Barbara's idea because it'll put the picture clause under the user, I dont want them to come back to me for putting in the commas we have a different system here 99,99,99,999.99 for Rupees.
What do you mean "different system"? commas and points switched? We use that in Bolivia, too.
If that is the difference, VFP still requires the picture "999,999.99". The display will change according to SET POINT and SET SEPARATOR or - if you use SET SYSFORMATS ON - to the settings of the Control Panel.

Difference in opinions hath cost many millions of lives: for instance, whether flesh be bread, or bread be flesh; whether whistling be a vice or a virtue; whether it be better to kiss a post, or throw it into the fire... (from Gulliver's Travels)
