Correct. We then implemented our own function [eg: M2AmountToCurr() ] which formats such a number [only when it needs to be displayed] into something the end-user would understand, and using whatever formatting style (based on locale or defined by system admin) and defined decimal count. We also have our own rounding function [when converting floating point to integer] - adhering to the specifications defined by our finance department. > I never heard about this technique before. Very good! Yes, it works very well for us. -- Regards, - Graeme - _______________________________________________ fpGUI - a cross-platform Free Pascal GUI toolkit http://fpgui.sourceforge.net _______________________________________________ fpc-pascal maillist - fpc-pascal@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal
