Single. I changed it to Double to see if that made a difference but it did not. Now I'm thinking of a major kludge where I take the number and multiply by 10 to the power of the number of decimal places, add .5, take the FIX() and divide back. Really would hate to go that route. There's gotta be an answer here somewhere.

However, Gustav, I do see one line item which displayed 3000 1.3000 3900.0000 when formatted Standard but when formatted Currency displays 3000 1.3000 3899.9998. This is the same part number as the line before it which displays 3500 1.3000 4550.0000 correctly whether formatted Currency or Standard. Any clues there?

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.

Hi Rocky That is most likely because you are not using data type Currency. If I do that, the sum runs to 14560.0000 /gustav >>> rockysmolin at bchacc.com 19-10-12 19:31 >>> 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?
