[AccessD] Rounding Problem?

Could it be that simple?  Wait...let me try...rats..no cigar.  The sub total
still comes out 14,559.9998.  

And if I use Currency format it shows the $ which I need to not see as the
app supports multiple currencies and there's a user preference for their
currency symbol.  Which is why I went with standard. 

Any other ideas?  I'm stumped.

Thanks

Rocky

Hi Rocky

That is most likely because you are not using data type Currency.

If I do that, the sum runs to 14560.0000

Dear List:
 
I have an app in which I allow the user to set a preference for the number
of decimal places they want to display in currency fields.
 
In the purchasing module this works well for 1, 2, or 3 decimal places.  But
I have a user who sent me a database where he has selected to display 4
decimal places (God knows why) and a PO with 6 line items.  The Quantity
Ordered, Unit Price, and Extension are as follows:
 
3500 1.3000 4550.0000
3500 1.3000 4550.0000
3000 1.3000 3900.0000
2000 0.2600   520.0000
2000 0.2600   520.0000
2000 0.2600   520.0000
 
The sub-total should add up to 14560 and with 2, or 3 decimal places it
does.  
 
But if I go to 4 as shown then the sub total (Control Source:
=Sum([fldPODUnitCost]*[fldPODQuantityOrdered]) )shows as 14,559.9998.  One
or more of those lines apparently does not have an exact decimal equivalent
in binary but they all display correctly in the detail.
 
Both text boxes are Format Standard.
 
Any clue what the solution is?
