I suspect a simple ROUND as specified will have an undesirable
side-effect.  It works in most cases but not all.  If, for example, you
add 12 and a half percent to 8, you get 9 - exactly.  This formula 

  round(YourFpNumber + 0.5,0)

will take the 9 and make it 10.  IOW, adding 12 and a half percent to 8
will give 9 exactly, then the formula above takes it to 10.  
Is this what you want to happen?

If it isn't then you need something a bit more complex.  Using 1.125 for
an increase of 12 and a half percent, in a query 

new:
IIf(Int(1.125*[old])=1.125*[old],1.125*[old],Round(0.5+1.125*[old],0))
should take care of all cases.

BTW, Excel has a wonderful ROUNDUP function which would do this in a
snip.  Not in Access 2003.
