Dennis, Bill,Terry,Javier Thanks but -- Round function reqires that amt be double. So I made it double and did the formula below and it still comes out to .55 should be 56. using more digits to right of decimal doesn't help because they are all .55555 My solution is to have the customer change his price to 9.26 <g>
