Have you tried CASTing your sum(total) to the precision you want? Then you're not leaving it up to the query engine to decide.

I just want to add the total of all invoices. In the management studio I do this: Select sum(total) as total from terbo.dbo.invoices I get 212649.17 When I do the same calculation in VFP cCmd = ‘Select sum(total) as total from terbo.dbo.invoices’ sqlexec(thisform.nHandle,cCmd,’curTotals’) nTotal = curTotals.total nTotal is 212.65 How can I get the correct amount? unquote I would still know the answer to this problem, because the weird thing is that it only happens with the tables of just one database. That is, I have two similar databases, with similar tables. However, the vfp cursor obtained from this particular database table gives the above error where a similar table in another database does not. In both my Windows 10 and VFP9 SP2 the regional settings are a dot as a thousands separator, a comma as a decimal point and a semicolon as lists separator. These are the Spanish language settings for numbers The numerical fields in the tables are defined as numerical (18,2) not null with a default value of 0 A select statement such as this: cCmd = 'select invtotal from mydatabase.dbo.invoices where invid = '+transform(nPK) sqlexec(nHandle,cCmd,'curInvTotal') brings a cursor where a browse shows 12.256,85 (note the dot shown as a thousands separator. It should show as 12256,85) If I place the mouse over the invtotal column on the browse, the number shows as 12.25 I am really baffled and do not know what to do. Any leads on where to tweak the database on SQL Server, or configure the software would be appreciated Any help?
