Hi Reuben

He is probably adding and subtraction 0.1 hour as well and you are
using data type Single for that.
Change to data type Currency ...

A client came across this for me...

One employee has 10 pay records on one day that are each .6 hours. 
After
gathering all the pay info I use a standard grouping query with a sum
to get
the total hours.

Rather than adding up to 6 hours, these 10 records resolve to
6.00000023841858

Why the strange decimals?

Thanks.
