Thanks for your message, I'll try to switch off NAV while working in VFP. But I'm not sure that it is due to NAV, I don't think I've been working with NAV active for all these years... anyway I'll try to follow what you said

>You can not trust a computer in computing. Thats normal. This was the very first I ever learned about computing. It needs always a human brain to make sense out of it.
>The simplest reason is translating a decimal fraction into a binary one is imposiible, so a simple 0.1 is not that easy because a binary fraction as divided by 2 and 0.1 is 1/(2*5). This wil end up in 0b0.0001011111111111111111.....
>There was allways a need for look over the results. A number like 1,000,000.01 makes no sense in technical terms, it need to be rounded. In finance terms there might be a reason, but this why we have special data-types for that.

>>I don't want to start a discussion about Fabio's or anyone else consideration about VFP as I don't think VFP is nothing but bugs. I'm uing VFP from over ten years I started with the 3.0 version and i do think it's a good development language, if it wasn't so I'd never used it instead of Paradox or Dbase language.
>>Anyway what happened to me and as I could see I'm not the only one, it's quite embarassing and the fact that Fabio tells you cannot trust about VFP calculation is not a good new. I don't want, as I dont think it would be the best way to do it, to develope engineer application with this language but I'd like to know till where I can trust VFP.
>>That's all

>>PS Anyway I prevent NAV to scan scx or sct files.... I'll let you know.
