That doesn't seem to get through to the source code from my experience. What you actually need to do is get at least 7 stories above ground and then throw the whole computer out of the nearest window. That generally teaches it to behave

More seriously this is definitely a display problem. As Malcolm suggested it could be a DisplayFormat set for a persistent field. The other thing to look at is the component that's being used to display the table. If its not confidential post the code in the binaries so we can have a look.

try: FormatFloat( ',0.00', WhateverValue.AsFloat ) to display to 2 decimal places;

Hi Bill,
I have tried that too
BUT..uploaded the app to another PC runnign XP (don't know if it's relevant) and lo and
behold.....floats became floats again!!
All is well. it's just on my PC that floats are becoming integers.
I noticed too that when trying to print from qreport's preview, pressing the print button
does NOT print anymore!!
I think I am up for a re-installation ((

If that's the case, then check your regional settings in the Control Panel
to make sure that the format for floating-point numbers has not been
changed.

That is the only thing that would affect just your machine.  If you move the
exact same application to a different machine and it works, then the
difference must be in the OS and not in your application.
