>I'll just have work around it.

When you found this work around, post a message.
I think no sure solution exists.
The only i have found is Ignore rounding errors result
VFP donnot have fixed decimal computation ( SQL Server or ORACLE have this).
Only currency is good, but when you multiply it for a numeric,
this numeric is a IEEE float, and rounding problem they are born immediately.

>I think a lot of Visual FoxPro-users have this problem...

I have open many threads on UT on this problem,
but only silence or insults to my intelligence received to me.

>And i presume MS wants to sell bug-free products...

Not in absolute sense;
on various messages MS put a Cost/Resource/Benefit
interpretation for bug fixing.

For fixing this bug,
VFPT must rewrite all VFP mathematical engine, and implement
fixed decimal computation;
only an uprising could force the team to do this.
