Hi Peter,

>In a remote view all fields automatically have the characteristics of the remote table, i.e integer=integer, money=currency a.s.o. Right? I hope?

It isn't entirely correct because VFP may not have some data type or may store them differently. I woud carefully compare all numeric field formats in a view and in SQL Serrver.

>(BTW, why they'd call money currency in VFP beats me, but I guess it's a big shop :-))

$ is money, anything else is currency. <bg>

I would save data before insert and than compare with inserted data in SQL server.
