Hi George,

So, it's not the function that's wrong then, but the help? here is the help in vfp7 on transform:

Trailing zeros are removed from the decimal portion of a numeric value. If the numeric value is a whole number, a decimal point is not included in the transformed value (for example, 4.0 is transformed to 4). If the numeric value is less than one but greater than negative one, zero is included before the decimal point (for example, .4 is transformed to 0.4).

? TRANSFORM(10.2) && Displays 10.2
>>>>? TRANSFORM(10.20) && Displays 10.2
>>>>SET DECIMALS TO 1
>>>>? TRANSFORM(10.20) && Displays 10.2

The VFP 6/7 help also states that "Trailing zeros are removed from the decimal portion of a numeric value".

>It isn't. However, it is so different than the previous behavior, that I would have to presume it was done by design. I'll have to check my home box to see if the behavior was the same as 6.0's since I don't have access to 7.0 without SP1 here.
