FIX: Report Is Wrong When You Relate Tables on Currency Field

This article was previously published under Q141316

On This Page

SYMPTOMS

When you relate two tables on a currency field in the data environment of a report, incorrect data is displayed in a report. The same relation will display data correctly in a form.

WORKAROUND

Group on STR(<parent_table.currency_field>,20,4).

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Microsoft products listed at the beginning of this article. This problem has been fixed in Visual FoxPro 5.0 for Windows.

MORE INFORMATION

By running the One-to-Many Form Wizard on two tables using the currency fields as the relating fields the correct data will be shown.

Steps to Reproduce Problem

  1. Create a new report.
  2. Right-click the report, and select Data Environment.
  3. Add two tables that contain currency fields (the child table needs to have an index on this currency field).
  4. Click the currency field in the parent table, and drag it to the currency index expression in the child table. A relation is now set.
  5. Set the OnetoMany property to True (.T.) in the Properties sheet for the relationship.
  6. Add a Data Grouping that is based on the currency field. Place some fields from the parent table in the Group Header and some fields from the child table in the Detail band.
  7. Right-click the report, and select Preview. Note that the data is displayed incorrectly with respect to the relationship.
