rounding problems
I have a calculated field on a form that produces a number with several
decimal places. Access will automatically round up the result to the nearest tenth. for example. the calculated field produces: 54.9876543210 access will round up to: 55.0 I want it to display: 54.9 How do I stop Access from rounding this calculated number.

rounding problems
Perhaps there's a difference of definition for "rounding".
The standard 'rule' for rounding would turn 54.98... into 55.0, rounded to the nearest tenth. If what you want is to discard all decimal places after the tenth, take a look at the Trunc() function.

rounding problems
Thanks Jeff for the timely response,
Yes, I just want Access to truncate the decimals instead of rounding them. But I can't seem to find the Trunc() function in Access. I went ahead and tried using it but Access didn't recognize it. Excel has a Trunc function but Access does not. Go figure! Any other suggestions? "Jeff Boyce" wrote in message ... Perhaps there's a difference of definition for "rounding".

Voodoo,
I think the Trunc() funstion applies to Excel, maybe SQL. Try this instead: =Int([YourField]*100)/100 -- Gina Whipp "I feel I have been denied critical, need to know, information!" - Tremors II http://www.regina-whipp.com/index_files/TipList.htm "voodoo" wrote in message ...

rounding problems
Thanks Gina,
That seemed to do the trick although I'm not sure why? To get the number to show only one decimal I did have to change your equation from: =Int([YourField]*100)/100 to: =Int([YourField]*10)/10 thanks to both of you for your help, greatly appreciated! happy programming "Gina Whipp" wrote in message ...

I knew I'd seen it somewhere ... g
As another alternative, setting a reference to the Excel object model and use Excel's Trunc() function in Access. Regards Jeff Boyce Microsoft Office/Access MVP "Gina Whipp" wrote in message ...

Jeff,
Can you help Voodoo out with why this (=Int([YourField]*100)/100) works?
