Thanks much Phillip. One further question though. In Access I have the costeach field setup as numeric. Each time a figure is entered with cents after, it rounds it off to the next amount (350.60 becomes 360). How can I keep it as 350.50 and then at some point have this number calculated via a qty number and total?

What you have to do is before you update; form.CostEach=ReplaceList(form.CostEach,"$","","all"); form.CostEach=ReplaceList(form.CostEach,",","","all"); That way it's removed the excess characters Philip Arnold Technical Director Certified ColdFusion Developer ASP Multimedia Limited Switchboard: +44 (0)20 8680 8099 Fax: +44 (0)20 8686 7911 www.aspmedia.co.uk www.aspevents.net An ISO9001 registered company. ********************************************************************** This email and any files transmitted with it are confidential and intended solely for the use of the individual or entity to whom they are addressed.
