That will truncate, leaving you with zero decimal places, not two. This expression:
#((num * 100) \ 1) / 100# will do as you want, but it has the effect of truncating at two decimal places, rather than rouding to two decimal places. E.g., 123.4567 will become 123.45, rather than the desired 123.46. Not to mention the fact that the round() call is much more readable. cheers, barneyb On 4/3/07, Peter Boughton <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > You can avoid the round function by doing integer division: > > #num*100\100# > > >#round(num * 100) / 100# will do just the math part.
