Fabio,

OK, if you say so. The problem is that you're using sixteen digits in the zz variable. Shorten it by removing the last digit to the right of the decimal point and it evaluates correctly. This is consistent with both the VFP docs and the KB article.

If you want to say it's a bug, fine. I bothered to RTFM, and accordingly to that, it isn't and I choose to believe that.
George
