Forgive me if I accidently use a feature that's from VB, but I'll give it a shot...
If you want to know how to make a string into an integer and the opposite:
`Integer to String
String$=Str$(Integer)
`String to Integer
Integer=Int(String$)
If you want to know ways of storing currency values, just store them as the value times 100: $99.95 = 9995 and divide by 100 INTO A FLOAT when you need to display them: Display# = 9995.0 / 100.0.
If that gives you trouble, you could try the following, but it's slow and harder to code.
Function Display_Currency(InValue)
OutValue$ = Left$(Str$(InValue), Len(Str$(Invalue)) - 2) + "." + Right$(Str$(InValue), 2)
EndFunction OutValue$
I'm pretty sure DBC has the Right$ function, I'm not at my own computer.
