Hi Donald,

Currency is the best choice for monetary numeric data.
On VFP only Currency is a fixed decimal numeric type, and you havent
sum/total rounding errors.

The ODBC import/export is correct:
- full range for smallmoney
- full range except for -922.337.203.685.477,5808 ( a bad VFP choice )
for money.

But the true plus of currency is this:
a field currency is put on variables without manipulations
( only for double numeric fields this is true also)
