Hi there I have a clientdataset and am trying to create a field where I can hold dollars in it. eg. $20.00 I normally have a string which is like this 50.00 which I convert to float to use basic aritmetic. Instead of using strings, how can I set up a field which holds money values. Do i use the currency format? if yes, how? Cheers.
