Hello Ed!

Thanks for your quick answer!
The number is normal. But I have to modify the program lines I wrote earlier. The field is currency, not numeric. The select destination is table type. (not cursor).
In the last some minutes I read in MS KB, that Calculate sum on currency fields in cursor can cause problems - like my one - at subsequent lines in 5.0.
OK, but in this case it is not cursor, and I use 5.0 with serv pack 3, that means 5.0a.
P.S.: Now I found a works around, MS suggested it:
after calculating,
mynumericvar=val(str(mynumericvar))
