Greetings,

I am writing an app to copy data from one SQL server to another. I do table,
field and type checking. I have hit one major problem:]

when i check the type of a SQL Server money field the field type returned is
ftBCD

This is not right. Why is it not returned as a ftCurrency ?

My second question is:

Is there any way to get the scale and precision of a SQL Server decimal
field ?

Thanks,

Robert Lancaster
