>Which is why you should always MTON before using any currency field in a calculation. I think this is documented but I can't remember where right now. In any case

? MTON( c)*(1/n)

gives the expected answer.

Hi Rick, the expected is $3 ( if you have 9 dollars and divide in 3 parts .... )

Then a possible way is
( but I do not have much confidence when I begin to make the accounts with the float of VFP )

? NTOM(MTON($9)*(1/3))

This is ok for me ( and you ? ) but when Bill G. have to split they patrimony:

? ($9999999999999.9999/3)*3
?  NTOM(MTON($9999999999999.9999)*(1/3))*3
