Thanks Lambert; That was exactly what I was thinking of doing ... just wondering if there was a better method.

Sum up the line item shipping costs and deduct the total from the total shipping costs calculated earlier. If the difference (+ or -) is non-zero then add the difference to the shipping cost for the most costly item.

Or are you saying you happened to charge (in this instance a straight $100) and the objective is to spread that over 3 items proportionally? -----Original Message----- From: accessd-bounces at databaseadvisors.com [mailto:accessd-bounces at databaseadvisors.com] On Behalf Of Lawrence Mrazek Sent: Monday, August 22, 2011 12:17 PM To: 'Access Developers discussion and problem solving' Subject: [AccessD] Access rounding scenario Hi folks: Here is the scenario. We have a shipping record (with details on where the shipment is going, etc.). Linked to this is the details table, containing line item details on exactly what is in the shipment, plus, on occasion, an extra transport charge. For a report, the client would like to have the transport charge applied to each item in the shipment. Thus, if the shipment contains the following charges: Material 1: $200 Material 2: $200 Material 3: $400 Transport: $100 They'd want the report to show; Material Charge Transport Material 1: $200 $25 Material 2: $200 $25 Material 3: $400 $50 Currently, I'm trying to do this by calculating a ratio of the materials to the total (material 1 = .25, material 2=.25, material 3= .50), and multiplying this by the total transport. While this works for the above numbers, I'm getting some rounding errors (I think) when dealing with other numbers and I need the transport charges to add up correctly. Any hints about how to do this?
