Frank, but problem is not because Valentina IS NOT able handle money in
FLOAT type.
THIS IS problem of computers itself, so why I should mention this in the
docs ???
EACH DBMS has this "problem" so far: mySQL, FileMaker, SQL Server.
And we have discuss this several times on Valentina list.
So this is not my fault that you have choose wrong way for money storage.
