Where did the Currency data type come into play here? All Andrew said
was that he is using 4 decimal places of precision. There is nothing
wrong with the Currency data type. As a matter of fact, I use it for
all of my numerics (generally) because it is compact and runs faster
since no time is spent converting decimal values to binary.
The x-base numeric representation is very 1960's, IMHO. Of course that
makes it a prime candidate for Microsoft to bring it back into use under
XML. :)
Sorry about that, I misread the question. I still tend to dislike the
Currency data type, in every application that I've used it under,
being it FoxPro, Access, or SQL Server, I've alway run into rounding
errors when applying another numeric or decimal data type to it.
