Default Problem with residual balance.

I have a ledger consisting of a main form and a subform.

The subform is a datasheet, two columns of which are Db &
Cr.

To check the that the ledger balances I have to subtract the
sum of one column from the other to get a zero.

To sum the columns I use:
Text19=Sum([Withdrawal])
Text24=Sum([Deposit])

To subtract I use:
=([Text19]-[Text24])
which should be zero.

But recently I have a a balance of .01dollars, which will
not go away.

Is this some form of rounding error?

Please help, Frank
