Check your compiler options and see if under code generation you have the option for "floating point emulation" checked. Then recompile your program.
This may solve your problem.

Hi,
Try declaring and assigning a float at the beginning of your program.

like so.

float dummy = 3.14;

Hope this helps.

thanks for help pappy.unfortunately i think my description was a bit mis-leading.although the program reads the floats from the file it is when trying to print to a printer that the fault occurs.i am using borland 4.5 and have selected target expert followed by application and dos standard.in this mode the fault occurs.however,if a use easy-win i can see the results on screen put cannot print a report.
any assistance will be much appreciated.
