Karen, I believe Fritz wants to display integers using the usual European notation i.e. the thousands separator is the period. Ex: “one thousand” is shown as 1.000
Fritz, your solution will depend on your CURRENCY setting. You may need to change the setting before and after using the forms. Here is a potential solution to your problem. I am assuming that your currency setting uses convention “A” as in: SET CURRENCY ‘DM‘ SUFF 2 A Create a single-table view that has all of the columns that you need in your DB grid and use a FORMAT for your integer column. For example: CREATE TEMPORARY VIEW TempV (col1,col2,…,IntegerColumn,nextcolumn,…) AS + SELECT col1,col2,…,(FORMAT(IntegerColumn,’999.999’)),nextcolumn,… FROM YourTable It works for me!

I had a thought, for the computed column you could also define a Numeric datatype and specify 3 as the decimals. That would be the easiest. Of course a computed column would not be editable.

Dear Karen, a computed column is a possibility, but I would have to add loads of computed columns just to get the effect.

I looked in RDOCS and there is nothing in there for an enhanced db grid column format.
