I believe the 6 would include the decimal point so for positive values it should be 999.99.

What is the maximum value a numeric field of size 6,2 in a dbf can hold? Is it 9999.99 or 999.99 - in other words, do I have to make an allowance for the decimal point? Also, if it is 9999.99 can it also hold -9999.99? This is so fundamental that I can't find it in the Help file.
